<p class="rule">
A successful call to <code>l.TryLock</code> (or <code>l.TryRLock</code>)
is equivalent to a call to <code>l.Lock</code> (or <code>l.RLock</code>).
An unsuccessful call has no synchronizing effect at all.
As far as the memory model is concerned,
<code>l.TryLock</code> (or <code>l.TryRLock</code>)
may be considered to be able to return false
even when the mutex <i>l</i> is unlocked.
