I agree. I suggest that the use/syntax of .NET's WaitHandle,
AutoResetEvent, ManualResetEvent be looked over. .NET/mono make this
concept very easy to use. More specifically, the semantics behind Auto
vs Manual, as well as the ability to WaitOne() on a single handle
versus WaitAny() & WaitAll() on an array of them.
