 * Class that implements the condition variable locking paradigm.
 *
 * <p>
 * This differs from the built-in java.lang.Object wait() and notify()
 * in that this class contains the condition to wait on itself.  That means
 * open(), close() and block() are sticky.  If open() is called before block(),
 * block() will not block, and instead return immediately.
 *
 * <p>
 * This class uses itself as the object to wait on, so if you wait()
 * or notify() on a ConditionVariable, the results are undefined.
