Nowadays, I would recommend to always use `Condition.wait_for()` rather than `Condition.wait()`. A Condition, unlike what the name suggests, is just a means of synchronization. It doesn't have a boolean state per se. You have to manage your boolean state (or any other kind of state) separately, hence the usefulness of `wait_for()`. As for auto-reset events, the Windows API has them, here's an insightful writeup about them: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/?p=30773 But, yes, perhaps auto-reset events would be a good addition regardless. Either through a flag to Event, or as a separate class.
