	 * same dispatcher is used to manage quantities of 1 in this manner,
	 * but an account that has failed to obtain its desired quantity is
	 * not queued for later re-assignment. And items released with
	 * releaseQuantity() are not re-assigned, so overall it is
	 * probably best to not mix the two.

	 * whatever an invoker of obtainItem() would do in case of success.
	 * If the items that are managed are threads, the invoker is
	 * likely to be one these threads and it should therefore process
	 * the returned account as it did the one for which it was calling
	 * releaseItem, however be very carefull not to process the new account
	 * in the context of the old one; that would rapidly lead to stack
	 * overflow. In other words, be carefull of not making a construct

	 *   myAccount.getUserObject().doStuff();
	 *   myAccount = myAccount.releaseItem();
	 *  }
	 * }
	 * Or similar; always go back to base stack level.
	 * It is mandatory to handle accounts returned by releaseItem().
	 * If handling leads to releaseItem, then it has to be done in a
	 * forever loop. That is typical if the items are threads.
	 * That is normally not happening if the items are only memory.
