/**
|

* Create a new read/write lock.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* A read/write lock is useful for situations where you have multiple
|
||||
* threads trying to access a resource that is rarely updated. All threads
|
||||
* requesting a read-only lock will be allowed to run in parallel; if a
|
||||
* thread requests a write lock, it will be provided exclusive access.
|
||||
* This makes it safe for multiple threads to use a resource at the same
|
||||
* time if they promise not to change it, and when it has to be changed,
|
||||
* the rwlock will serve as a gateway to make sure those changes can be
|
||||
* made safely.

|

* In the right situation, a rwlock can be more efficient than a mutex,
|
||||
* which only lets a single thread proceed at a time, even if it won't be
|
||||
* modifying the data.

||||

|
||||
