// Abstraction for a simple flag that can be toggled in a multithreaded way.
//
// Simple API:
// * Set(bool = true): sets the Flag
// * IsSet(): tests if the flag is set
// * Clear(): clears the flag (equivalent to Set(false)).
//
// More advanced features:
// * TestAndSet(bool = true): sets the flag to the given value. If a change was
//                            needed (the flag did not already have this value)
//                            the function returns true. Else, false.
// * TestAndClear(): alias for TestAndSet(false).
