    SpinLock()

Create a non-reentrant, test-and-test-and-set spin lock.
Recursive use will result in a deadlock.
This kind of lock should only be used around code that takes little time
to execute and does not block (e.g. perform I/O).
In general, [`ReentrantLock`](@ref) should be used instead.

Each [`lock`](@ref) must be matched with an [`unlock`](@ref).

Test-and-test-and-set spin locks are quickest up to about 30ish
contending threads. If you have more contention than that, different
synchronization approaches should be considered.
