AsyncSemaphore

AsyncSemaphore class

The AsyncSemaphore class is quire similar to the AsyncMutex class, except that it allows a certain level of parallelism. While AsyncMutex allows only a single lock to be aquired at any specific time, the AsyncSemaphore takes a locks limit count as constructor parameter. The Lock Method will return a lock (a completed task whose result is a lock) as long as the concurrent number of locks does not exceed the locks limit. When it does, the next request for lock will return a task that will only complete when one of the busy locks is released.

Other then the locks limit, using the AsyncMutex and AsyncSemaphore is exactly the same.
