The j.u.c.locks.ReentrantLock class is built upon the standard AbstractQueuedSynchronizer class. The current JavaDoc for that class (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/locks/AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.html) defines a complete /non-reentrant/ implementation of the j.u.c.locks.Lock interface, including Condition support. It's only a dozen or so lines and can be unlocked by any thread. Perhaps that could form the basis for the threading.Lock instead of a Semaphore?
