+// BlockingCounter
+//
+// This class allows a thread to block for a pre-specified number of actions.
+// `BlockingCounter` maintains a single non-negative abstract integer "count"
+// with an initial value `initial_count`. A thread can then call `Wait()` on
+// this blocking counter to block until the specified number of events occur;
+// worker threads then call 'DecrementCount()` on the counter upon completion of
+// their work. Once the counter's internal "count" reaches zero, the blocked
+// thread unblocks.
+//
+// A `BlockingCounter` requires the following:
+//     - its `initial_count` is non-negative.
+//     - the number of calls to `DecrementCount()` on it is at most
+//       `initial_count`.
+//     - `Wait()` is called at most once on it.
+//
+// Given the above requirements, a `BlockingCounter` provides the following
+// guarantees:
+//     - Once its internal "count" reaches zero, no legal action on the object
+//       can further change the value of "count".
+//     - When `Wait()` returns, it is legal to destroy the `BlockingCounter`.
+//     - When `Wait()` returns, the number of calls to `DecrementCount()` on
+//       this blocking counter exactly equals `initial_count`.
+//
+// Example:
+//     BlockingCounter bcount(N);         // there are N items of work
+//     ... Allow worker threads to start.
+//     ... On completing each work item, workers do:
+//     ... bcount.DecrementCount();      // an item of work has been completed
+//
+//     bcount.Wait();                    // wait for all work to be complete
+//
