It turned out that semaphores were easier than I expected. Now that I
understand them, I'm even more skeptical that they belong in Event. I'm
not saying that I would reject an implementation, but they seem like too
specialized a mechanism for commonplace Event'ing.
Graham, I still have an old non-working pm file in the demo directory
that implemented semaphores for Event.
