#
# ReadWriteLock
# -------------
#
# This class implements a read/write lock synchronization
# primitive. It is meant to allow for more efficient access to
# resources that are more often read from than written to and many
# times can have concurrent reader threads. By allowing the reader
# threads to lock the resource concurrently rather than serially,
# a large performance boost can be seen. Acquiring a write lock
# results in exclusive access to the resource and thereby prevents
# any read operations during the time that a write lock is acquired.
# Only one write lock may be acquired at a time.
#
