/**
 * Similar to a {@link java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch} but increments
 * instead of decrementing from a set number down to 0.
 * 
 * A {@link CountUpLatch} can be used for a thread to wait until other threads
 * have reached a condition that is represented by the latch being
 * {@link #countUp incremented} to a certain number.
 * 
 * 
 * {@link CountUpLatch} assumes that threads may begin counting up before a
 * listening thread knows for how many counts to {@link #await(long)}.
 * Therefore, if a thread calls {@link #await(long)} with a number that is less
 * than the number of times the latch has been incremented, the method returns
 * immediately.
 * 
 * 
 * So, the semantics of a {@link CountUpLatch} allow a thread to wait, if
 * necessary, until the latch has been incremented at least n times.
