A synchronization primitive, which limits access to a given resource, such as a limited number of database connections, open files, or network connections.

## Example

~~~ ruby
require 'async'
require 'async/semaphore'
require 'net/http'

Sync do
	# Only allow two concurrent tasks at a time:
	semaphore = Async::Semaphore.new(2)
	
	# Generate an array of 10 numbers:
	terms = ['ruby', 'python', 'go', 'java', 'c++'] 
	
	# Search for the terms:
	terms.each do |term|
		semaphore.async do |task|
			Console.logger.info("Searching for #{term}...")
			response = Net::HTTP.get(URI "https://www.google.com/search?q=#{term}")
			Console.logger.info("Got response #{response.size} bytes.")
		end
	end
end
