/**
* A ReadWriteLock that prefers waiting writers over
* waiting readers when there is contention. This class
* is adapted from the versions described in CPJ, improving
* on the ones there a bit by segregating reader and writer
* wait queues, which is typically more efficient.
*
* The locks are NOT reentrant. In particular,
* even though it may appear to usually work OK,
* a thread holding a read lock should not attempt to
* re-acquire it. Doing so risks lockouts when there are
* also waiting writers.
