    ReentrantLock()

Creates a re-entrant lock for synchronizing [`Task`](@ref)s. The same task can
acquire the lock as many times as required (this is what the "Reentrant" part
of the name means). Each [`lock`](@ref) must be matched with an [`unlock`](@ref).

Calling 'lock' will also inhibit running of finalizers on that thread until the
corresponding 'unlock'. Use of the standard lock pattern illustrated below
should naturally be supported, but beware of inverting the try/lock order or
missing the try block entirely (e.g. attempting to return with the lock still
held):

This provides a acquire/release memory ordering on lock/unlock calls.

```
lock(l)
try
    <atomic work>
finally
    unlock(l)
end
```

If [`!islocked(lck::ReentrantLock)`](@ref islocked) holds, [`trylock(lck)`](@ref trylock)
succeeds unless there are other tasks attempting to hold the lock "at the same time."

    islocked(lock) -> Status (Boolean)

Check whether the `lock` is held by any task/thread.
This function alone should not be used for synchronization. However, `islocked` combined
with [`trylock`](@ref) can be used for writing the test-and-test-and-set or exponential
backoff algorithms *if it is supported by the `typeof(lock)`* (read its documentation).

# Extended help

For example, an exponential backoff can be implemented as follows if the `lock`
implementation satisfied the properties documented below.

```julia
nspins = 0
while true
    while islocked(lock)
        GC.safepoint()
        nspins += 1
        nspins > LIMIT && error("timeout")
    end
    trylock(lock) && break
    backoff()
end
```

## Implementation

A lock implementation is advised to define `islocked` with the following properties and note
it in its docstring.

* `islocked(lock)` is data-race-free.
* If `islocked(lock)` returns `false`, an immediate invocation of `trylock(lock)` must
  succeed (returns `true`) if there is no interference from other tasks.
