25 would cause a deadlock (semaphore would get into a state where 26 would cause a deadlock (semaphore would get into a state where
26 it was available but waiters were waiting(. 27 it was available but waiters were waiting(.
28 - calling throw on a coroutine that is waiting for a semaphore will
29 no longer make it acquire the semaphore (and thus leak a count).

46 - implement Coro::SemaphoreSet purely in terms of Coro::Semaphore, 49 - implement Coro::SemaphoreSet purely in terms of Coro::Semaphore,
47 for a nice speedup and vastly more correct behaviour. Also implement 50 for a nice speedup and vastly more correct behaviour. Also implement

52 - implement Coro::Channel in terms of Coro::Semaphore, for a moderate
53 (in comparison) 20-40% speedup.
