// Some tasks require access to shared data structures, such as the
// symbol table.  Some tasks must be executed in a particular order,
// such as reading input file symbol tables--if we see foo.o -llib, we
// have to read the symbols for foo.o before we read the ones for
// -llib.  To implement this safely and efficiently, we use tokens.
// Task_tokens support shared read/exclusive write access to some
// resource.  Alternatively, they support blockers: blockers implement
// the requirement that some set of tasks must complete before another
// set of tasks can start.  In such a case we increment the block
// count when we create the task, and decrement it when the task
// completes.  Task_tokens are only manipulated by the main thread, so
// they do not themselves require any locking.
