The fact that more than N threads can wake up is not a problem if you are
retesting an appropriate predicate as soon as your waiting threads awakes.
(And if you are not retesting then you are abusing the condition variable.)
But it might be nice to be able to wait on multiple conditions at once,
assuming they are associated with the same lock. Maybe we could have a static
method
Condition.wait_for_any(cond_to_pred: dict, timeout=None) -> condition
where cond_to_pred is a mapping from condition variable to predicate function
to test for. The return value would be the condition variable whose predicate
is true (or None if there was a timeout). So then
cond.wait_for(pred)
would be equivalent to
Condition.wait_for_any({cond: pred}) is cond
