    // this is WallTime not MonotonicTime, but that's just how OS wait functions work. However,
    // because ParkingLot evaluates whether it should wait by checking if your time has passed
    // using whatever clock you used, specifying timeouts in MonotonicTime is semantically better.
    // For example, if the user sets his computer's clock back during the time that you wanted to
    // wait for one second, and you specified the timeout using the MonotonicTime, then ParkingLot
    // will be smart enough to know that your one second has elapsed.

    // parking only succeeds if the validation function returns true while the queue lock is held.
    //
    // If validation returns false, it will unlock the internal parking queue and then it will
    // return a null ParkResult (wasUnparked = false, token = 0) without doing anything else.
    //
    // If validation returns true, it will enqueue the thread, unlock the parking queue lock, call
    // the beforeSleep function, and then it will sleep so long as the thread continues to be on the
    // queue and the timeout hasn't fired. Finally, this returns wasUnparked = true if we actually
    // got unparked or wasUnparked = false if the timeout was hit. When wasUnparked = true, the

    // queues may be randomly interleaved. For example, if the queue for address A1 has T1 and T2 and
    // the queue for address A2 has T3 and T4, then you might see iteration orders like:

    // A1,T1 A1,T2 A2,T3 A2,T4
