 * <p>We encourage you to return {@code ListenableFuture} from your methods so that your users can
 * take advantage of the {@linkplain Futures utilities built atop the class}. The way that you will
 * create {@code ListenableFuture} instances depends on how you currently create {@code Future}
 * instances:

   * acquire(10) request arriving. We serve the request partly from storedPermits, using all the
   * remaining 7.0 permits, and the remaining 3.0, we serve them by fresh permits produced by the
   * rate limiter.
   *
   * We already know how much time it takes to serve 3 fresh permits: if the rate is

 *       token attempt, one measure of the quality of a hash function is <i>how well</i> it succeeds
 *       at this goal. Important note: it may be easy to achieve the theoretical minimum collision
 *       rate when using completely <i>random</i> sample input. The true test of a hash function is
 *       how it performs on representative real-world data, which tends to contain many hidden

   * code would be responsible for populating a "real" {@code T} (which might still be the value
   * {@code null}!) before returning it to callers. Depending on how the code is structured, a
   * nullness analysis might not understand that the field has been populated. To avoid that problem
   * without having to add {@code @SuppressWarnings}, the code can call this method.

 * Disclaimer: Part of the reason that callers are so well adapted to `Function<A, B>` may be that

    // waited and assert based on that time. Empirically, the race where the thread ends up waiting
    // for 5.5 seconds happens about 2% of the time.
    boolean longWait = TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS.toSeconds(thread.timeSpentBlocked) >= 5;

 *   <li>The raw {@code long} values returned by {@code nanoTime} are meaningless and unsafe to use
 *       in any other way than how {@code Stopwatch} uses them.
 *   <li>An alternative source of nanosecond ticks can be substituted, for example for testing or
 *       performance reasons, without affecting most of your code.
