Description
Multiple times the documentation states:
> If a thread or task is blocked when calling Wait(Int32) and the timeout interval specified by millisecondsTimeout expires:
>
> - The thread or task doesn't enter the semaphore.
> - The CurrentCount property isn't decremented.
It tells us what won't happen to the thread, but it doesn't tell us what _will_ happen to the thread. Does it just block forever? Does it terminate? Does it throw an exception?
