+ *
+ * This lock provides more features than a plain mutex:
+ *
+ * 1. Fairness - enforces FIFO order.
+ * 2. Nesting - can be taken recursively.
+ * 3. Contention callback - optional, called when thread must wait.
+ *
+ * The recursive FIFO lock is heavyweight so prefer other synchronization
+ * primitives if you do not need its features.
