Simple Quantity Semaphores

newtypenewtype QSem

QSem is a quantity semaphore in which the resource is acquired and released in units of one. It provides guaranteed FIFO ordering for satisfying blocked waitQSem calls.

The pattern

bracket_ waitQSem signalQSem (...)

is safe; it never loses a unit of the resource.
