See NSLock for more information about what a lock is. A recursive
lock extends NSLock in that you can lock a recursive lock multiple
times. Each lock must be balanced by a cooresponding unlock, and the
lock is not released for another thread to aquire until the last
unlock call is made (cooresponding to the fist lock message).

<h3><a name ="method-0">lockBeforeDate:</a></h3>
- (BOOL) <b>lockBeforeDate:</b> (NSDate*)limit;<br>
Attempts to aquire a lock before the date limit passes. It returns
YES if it can. It returns NO if it cannot
(but it waits until the time limit is up before returning NO).
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-1">tryLock</a></h3>
- (BOOL) <b>tryLock</b>;<br>
Attempts to aquire a lock, but returns NO immediately if the lock
cannot be aquired. It returns YES if the lock is aquired. Can be
called multiple times to make nested locks.
