	<methods>
		<method name="post">
			<return type="void">
			</return>
			<description>
				Lowers the [Semaphore], allowing one more thread in.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="wait">
			<return type="void">
			</return>
			<description>
				Waits for the [Semaphore], if its value is zero, blocks until non-zero.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="try_wait">
			<return type="int" enum="Error">
			</return>
			<description>
				Like [method wait], but won't block, so if the value is zero, fails immediately and returns [constant ERR_BUSY]. If non-zero, it returns [constant OK] to report success.
