*
* The Waitable interface defines a common method of adding generic <i>wait</i> semantics
* to a class.
*
* <b>Waiting</b>
*
* An object implementing the Waitable interface externalizes a mechanism for testing
* some internal condition. Another object may <i>wait()</i>s for a Waitable object;
* in doing so, it wait()s for that condition to become true by blocking the caller
* while the condition is false.
*
* For example, a Condition is Waitable object that extends <i>wait</i> semantics
* so that wait()ing means a thread is blocked until some external stimulus
* specifically performs an operation on the Condition to make its internal condition true.
* (serialization aside)
*
* A Barrier extends <i>wait</i> semantics so that wait()ing mean waiting for other
* waiters, and may include automatically resetting the condition once a wait is complete.
*

* @see Barrier
* @see Executor
