   * Using integrals guarantees that the effect of a single acquire(3) is equivalent to {
   * acquire(1); acquire(1); acquire(1); }, or { acquire(2); acquire(1); }, etc, since the integral
   * of the function in [7.0, 10.0] is equivalent to the sum of the integrals of [7.0, 8.0], [8.0,
   * 9.0], [9.0, 10.0] (and so on), no matter what the function is. This guarantees that we handle

   * the caller when the timeout elapses; aborting the target method call is of secondary concern.
   * The particular nature and strength of the guarantees made by the proxy is
   * implementation-dependent. However, it is important that each of the methods on the target
   * object behaves appropriately when its thread is interrupted.
