27 it was available but waiters were waiting(. 26 it was available but waiters were still blocked).
27 - calling throw on a coroutine that is waiting for a semaphore will
28 no longer make it acquire the semaphore (and thus leak a count).

54 - used new SLF interface to reimplement Coro::Signal gaining
