Am I wrong in thinking that it will only spin for a short while,
eventually yielding?
The original text said this but the new text implies it will spin forever.
It does not use a spin timeout. I considered adding a separate note to
define adaptive spinning generically as it is used by multiple lock
types (mutexes, rwlocks, and sx locks).
this would be a good idea.
