Detailed Description

A non-blocking mutex, modified spin-lock that yields on failure.

This mutex does not block the current thread, but instead attempts to use an atomic operation to aquire the lock. If unsuccessful, then it yields to other tasks before trying again. If there is no current fiber, then yield is a no-op and mutex becomes a spin-lock.
