+/**
+ * The Coordinator class provides the basic functionality for synchronizing
+ * and coordinating different threads upon entering and exiting methods.
+ * It can be used in two different ways:
+ * 1) by instantiating regular coordinator objects that are used by aspects; or
+ * 2) by extending it (sub-classing) with coordinator aspects.
+ * <P>
+ * Method invocations are the smallest units for defining critical sections
+ * and pre-conditions. The use of coordinators, either regular objects or aspect
+ * instances, should always end up by invoking guardedEntry(...) in a
+ * before weave and guardedExit(...) in an after weave for all methods that
+ * need coordination. guardedEntry and guardedExit are the methods that
+ * actually manage the synchronization and coordination constraints given
+ * by their parameters and by pre-existent exclusion markers.
+ * <P>
+ * The synchronization of threads for the execution of critical section
+ * methods in an object is done by marking those methods as self- and/or
+ * mutually-exclusive (addSelfex, addMutex).
+ * Just by itself, addSelfex("M") does not enforce the self-exclusion
+ * of method M - enforcement is done by invoking guardedEntry before
+ * M is executed. Similarly, addMutex(new String[] {"M1", "M2"}) does
+ * not enforce the mutual exclusion between methods M1 and M2.
+ * <P>
+ * A guardedEntry on a method that has been marked as self-exclusive
+ * ensures that the method is executed in the invoked object by only one thread
+ * at a time. A guardedEntry on a method that has been marked has mutually-
+ * exclusive with other methods ensures that the execution of that method
+ * by a thread in the invoked object temporarily blocks the execution by
+ * other threads of the methods that are in the same mutex set.
+ * <P>
+ * The coordination of threads, i.e. their explicit suspension and
+ * resumption, is done through the use of pre-conditions and coordination
+ * actions that are passed as parameters to guardedEntry and guardedExit
+ * with the form of anonymous classes.
