-- Start using `Base`'s API: `lock`, `trylock`, `unlock`, `islocked`, `isready`, `put!`, `take!`. Deprecate `put`, `request`, `release`. Moreover, consider using `take!` instead of `get` (which was not deprecated as it has numerous internal uses).
+- Start using `Base`'s API: `Base.unlock`, `Base.islocked`, `Base.isready`, `Base.put!`, `Base.take!`. Deprecate `put`, `release`. Moreover, consider using `Base.take!` instead of `Base.get` (which was not deprecated yet, as we decide which semantics to follow). Lastly, `Base.lock` and `Base.trylock` are **not** implement -- they are superficially similar to `request` and `tryrequest`, but have to be explicitly `@yield`-ed.
+- Implement `tryrequest` (similar to `Base.trylock`). However, consider also using `Base.isready` and `request` instead of `tryrequest`.

+The resource’s `request` function generates an event that lets you wait until the resource becomes available again. If you are resumed, you “own” the resource until you release it with `unlock`.
 
 You are responsible to call `unlock` once you are done using the resource. When you unlock (release) a resource, the next waiting process is resumed and now “owns” one of the resource’s slots. The basic `Resource` sorts waiting processes in a FIFO (first in—first out) way.
