/**
 * When using the `useState` approach, a new instance of the semaphore must be set based on the previous
 * one within the `setState` callback, as shown in this example:
 *
 * 		setState( prevSemaphore => ... )
 *
 * The issue arises from the uncertainty of whether React has batched and cancelled some `setState` calls.
 * This means that setting the state with a semaphore three times might result in the collapsing of these three calls into a single one.
 *
 * Although this may not seem like a significant issue in theory, it can lead to a multitude of minor issues in practice that may
 * generate race conditions. This is because semaphores handle batching independently.
 *
 * A solution involving refs is safer in terms of preserving object references. In other words, `semaphoreRef.current` is guaranteed to
 * always point to the most recent instance of the semaphore.
