(1) Replaced random-looking assortment of counter increments and
decrements with something hopefully more principalled-looking. Most
importantly, introduced the MutablePromise abstraction to neatly wrap
up the complicated business of unioning multiple sources of
unblocking.
(2) Improved debug logging.
(3) Somewhat more interesting test cases, and a bug fix wrt round
robin index.
