Task and protected objects are great for synchronizing on resources that are
always grouped together.  However, resources that must be grouped together
before they can be used, such as the chopsticks in the dining philosophers
problem, seem to require the developer to write their own resource
synchronization algorithm.  Is there any standard method for synchronizing
on multiple resources in Ada 95?  If so, are there any links or articles on
this topic?
