On macOS, ``sem_timedwait`` is unsupported, so calling ``acquire()`` with
a timeout will emulate that function's behavior using a sleeping loop.

.. note::

If the SIGINT signal generated by :kbd:`Ctrl-C` arrives while the main thread is
blocked by a call to :meth:`BoundedSemaphore.acquire`, :meth:`Lock.acquire`,
:meth:`RLock.acquire`, :meth:`Semaphore.acquire`, :meth:`Condition.acquire`
or :meth:`Condition.wait` then the call will be immediately interrupted and
:exc:`KeyboardInterrupt` will be raised.

This differs from the behaviour of :mod:`threading` where SIGINT will be
ignored while the equivalent blocking calls are in progress.

.. note::

Some of this package's functionality requires a functioning shared semaphore
