abstract class Deferred[F <: ([_$1] =>> Any), A]
A purely functional synchronization primitive which represents a single value
which may not yet be available.
When created, a Deferred is empty. It can then be completed exactly once,
and never be made empty again.
get on an empty Deferred will block until the Deferred is completed.
get on a completed Deferred will always immediately return its content.
complete(a) on an empty Deferred will set it to a, and notify any and
all readers currently blocked on a call to get.
complete(a) on a Deferred that has already been completed will not modify
its content, and result in a failed F.
Albeit simple, Deferred can be used in conjunction with Ref to build
complex concurrent behaviour and data structures like queues and semaphores.
Finally, the blocking mentioned above is semantic only, no actual threads are
blocked by the implementation.

@deprecated("`MVar` is now deprecated in favour of a new generation `MVar2` with `tryRead` and `swap` support", "2.2.0")
abstract class MVar[F <: ([_$1] =>> Any), A] extends MVarDocumentation
A mutable location, that is either empty or contains a value of type A.
It has the following fundamental atomic operations:
  • put which fills the var if empty, or blocks
    (asynchronously) until the var is empty again
  • tryPut which fills the var if empty. returns true if successful
  • take which empties the var if full, returning the contained
    value, or blocks (asynchronously) otherwise until there is
    a value to pull
  • tryTake empties if full, returns None if empty.
  • read which reads the current value without touching it,
    assuming there is one, or otherwise it waits until a value
    is made available via put
  • tryRead returns a variable if it exists. Implemented in the successor MVar2
  • swap takes a value, replaces it and returns the taken value. Implemented in the successor MVar2
  • isEmpty returns true if currently empty
The MVar is appropriate for building synchronization
primitives and performing simple inter-thread communications.
If it helps, it's similar with a BlockingQueue(capacity = 1),
except that it doesn't block any threads, all waiting being
done asynchronously (via Async or Concurrent data types,
such as IO).
Given its asynchronous, non-blocking nature, it can be used on
top of Javascript as well.
Inspired by Control.Concurrent.MVar from Haskell and
by scalaz.concurrent.MVar.

The MVar2 is the successor of MVar with tryRead and swap. It was implemented separately only to maintain
binary compatibility with MVar.
abstract class Ref[F <: ([_$1] =>> Any), A]
An asynchronous, concurrent mutable reference.
Provides safe concurrent access and modification of its content, but no
functionality for synchronisation, which is instead handled by Deferred.
For this reason, a Ref is always initialised to a value.
The default implementation is nonblocking and lightweight, consisting essentially
of a purely functional wrapper over an AtomicReference.

abstract class Semaphore[F <: ([_$1] =>> Any)]
A purely functional semaphore.
A semaphore has a non-negative number of permits available. Acquiring a permit
decrements the current number of permits and releasing a permit increases
the current number of permits. An acquire that occurs when there are no
permits available results in semantic blocking until a permit becomes available.
Blocking acquires are cancelable if the semaphore is created with Semaphore.apply
(and hence, with a Concurrent[F] instance). Blocking acquires are non-cancelable
if the semaphore is created with Semaphore.async (and hence, with an Async[F] instance).
