    -- | 'QSem' is a quantity semaphore in which the resource is aqcuired
    -- 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.

    -- The semaphore state (i, xs, ys):
    --
    --   i is the current resource value
    --
    --   (xs,ys) is the queue of blocked threads, where the queue is
    --           given by xs ++ reverse ys.  We can enqueue new blocked threads
    --           by consing onto ys, and dequeue by removing from the head of xs.
    --
    -- A blocked thread is represented by an empty (MVar ()).  To unblock
    -- the thread, we put () into the MVar.
    --
    -- A thread can dequeue itself by also putting () into the MVar, which
    -- it must do if it receives an exception while blocked in waitQSem.
    -- This means that when unblocking a thread in signalQSem we must
    -- first check whether the MVar is already full; the MVar lock on the
    -- semaphore itself resolves race conditions between signalQSem and a
    -- thread attempting to dequeue itself.
