 * <p>It is possible to configure a {@code RateLimiter} to have a warmup period during which time
 * the permits issued each second steadily increases until it hits the stable rate.
 *
 * <p>As an example, imagine that we have a list of tasks to execute, but we don't want to submit
 * more than 2 per second:
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * final RateLimiter rateLimiter = RateLimiter.create(2.0); // rate is "2 permits per second"
