I want to waken a specific thread that's waiting on a S.O., synchro
object, based on an index.

From the docs:
Semaphore acquire: "The implementation may pick one at random."

Thus semaphores will not do, outside of an array of them.  Did I miss
something?

A: I want a specific thread.
B: Semaphores pick one at random.
