It seems to me very annoying that Semaphores store a signal in case nobody is 
listening. 
That's very unpleasent for network communication, because sometimes I just 
want an event to be ignored, while potentially there /could/ be someone 
interested in it.

Is there a way to make semaphore behave non-remembering?
SharedQueue looks better, but a timeout would be nice, and im not sure, but: 
doesnt it remember signals forever, too?
