v1.0.0 – waitinline 🚶‍♂️🚦

📝 Release notes:

Say hello to waitinline — a fair, context-aware locking mechanism for your Go routines! 🎉

This v1.0.0 release brings you:

---

✨ Features:

• 🧾 FIFO Locking: All lock requests are served in the order they arrived. No line-cutting allowed!
• ⏱️ Context Support: Cancel lock attempts with context timeouts or cancellations — perfect for graceful shutdowns.
• 🧘 Fair Concurrency: Ideal for use cases where ordering matters (task queues, sequential jobs, fairness guarantees).
• 🔒 Drop-in simplicity: Just import and call Lock(ctx) → get a Unlock() back. Done.

---

🛠 Why not just sync.Mutex?

Great question! Unlike sync.Mutex, which doesn't guarantee order or cancelability, waitinline:

• ✔️ Guarantees FIFO fairness
• ❌ Doesn’t block forever if your context is cancelled
• 💡 Makes concurrency more predictable in event queues, job workers, rate-limited APIs, and more

---

📦 Example:

l := waitinline.New(10)
defer l.Close()

handler, err := l.Lock(context.Background())
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer handler.Unlock()

// safely access your shared resource
