[issue19158] BoundedSemaphore.release() subject to races

[Richard Oudkerk]

Richard Oudkerk added the comment:

Is BoundedSemaphore really supposed to be "robust" in the face of too many releases, or does it just provide a sanity check?

I think that releasing a bounded semaphore too many times is a programmer error, and the exception is just a debugging aid for the programmer.  Raising an exception 99% of the time should be sufficient for that purpose.
