Detailed Description

A runlist is used to restrict concurrent exection to a limited set of concurrent sessions, much like a semaphore.

However, the runlist differs in that it notifies objects when they become ready to run, rather than requiring them to wait and 'block' for the semaphore count to become low enough to continue.
