// the reacquitition of the lock upon return from an await() method.
// As such, condition variables will mark for the future hard
// wait, prior to releasing the lock.
// Note 2: There is no need to check for deadlock on this end because
// a deadlock can be created whether the condition variable owns the
// lock or is reacquiring it. Since we are marking *before* giving
// up ownership, the deadlock will be detected on the lock() side
// first. It is not possible to create a new deadlock just by releasing
// locks.
