// We support two basic types of locks, which are both implemented
// using the single class Task_token.

// A write lock may be held by a single Task at a time.  This is used
// to control access to a single shared resource such as an Object.

// A blocker is used to indicate that a Task A must be run after some
// set of Tasks B.  For each of the Tasks B, we increment the blocker
// when the Task is created, and decrement it when the Task is
// completed.  When the count goes to 0, the task A is ready to run.

// There are no shared read locks.  We always read and write objects
// in predictable patterns.  The purpose of the locks is to permit
// some flexibility for the threading system, for cases where the
// execution order does not matter.

// These tokens are only manipulated when the workqueue lock is held
// or when they are first created.  They do not require any locking
// themselves.
