17  * A No-Op implementation of Sync. Acquire never blocks,
18  * Attempt always succeeds, Release has no effect.
19  * However, acquire and release do detect interruption
20  * and throw InterruptedException. Also, the methods
21  * are synchronized, so preserve memory barrier properties
22  * of Syncs.
23  * <p>
24  * NullSyncs can be useful in optimizing classes when
25  * it is found that locking is not strictly necesssary.
