+/*!
+    \class Q3Semaphore
+    \threadsafe
+    \brief The Q3Semaphore class provides a robust integer semaphore.
+
+    \compat
+
+    A Q3Semaphore can be used to serialize thread execution, in a
+    similar way to a QMutex. A semaphore differs from a mutex, in
+    that a semaphore can be accessed by more than one thread at a
+    time.
+
+    For example, suppose we have an application that stores data in a
+    large tree structure. The application creates 10 threads
+    (commonly called a thread pool) to perform searches on the tree.
+    When the application searches the tree for some piece of data, it
+    uses one thread per base node to do the searching. A semaphore
+    could be used to make sure that two threads don't try to search
+    the same branch of the tree at the same time.
+
+    A non-computing example of a semaphore would be dining at a
+    restaurant. A semaphore is initialized to have a maximum count
+    equal to the number of chairs in the restaurant. As people
+    arrive, they want a seat. As seats are filled, the semaphore is
+    accessed, once per person. As people leave, the access is
+    released, allowing more people to enter. If a party of 10 people
+    want to be seated, but there are only 9 seats, those 10 people
+    will wait, but a party of 4 people would be seated (taking the
+    available seats to 5, making the party of 10 people wait longer).
+
+    When a semaphore is created it is given a number which is the
+    maximum number of concurrent accesses it will permit. This amount
+    may be changed using operator++(), operator--(), operator+=() and
+    operator-=(). The number of accesses allowed is retrieved with
+    available(), and the total number with total(). Note that the
+    incrementing functions will block if there aren't enough available
+    accesses. Use tryAccess() if you want to acquire accesses without
+    blocking.
