/**
 * When you have many workers (threads/servers) giving service, and a
 * cached item expensive to produce expires, you may get several workers
 * doing the job at the same time.
 *
 * Given enough requests and the item expiring fast (non-cacheable,
 * lots of edits...) that single work can end up unfairly using most (all)
 * of the cpu of the pool. This is also known as 'Michael Jackson effect'
 * since this effect triggered on the english wikipedia on the day Michael
 * Jackson died, the biographical article got hit with several edits per
 * minutes and hundreds of read hits.
 *
 * The PoolCounter provides semaphore semantics for restricting the number
 * of workers that may be concurrently performing such single task. Only one
 * key can be locked by any PoolCounter instance of a process, except for keys
 * that start with "nowait:". However, only 0 timeouts (non-blocking requests)
 * can be used with "nowait:" keys.
 *
 * By default PoolCounter_Stub is used, which provides no locking. You
 * can get a useful one in the PoolCounter extension.
