THANKS! I've added it (not 100% sure how it would work in practice, but certainly looks interesting).

You are welcome. Note that the event count is a general synchronization primitive, the one in folly is just an implementation.

BTW, you can build an efficient event count on top of eventfd, so you can even poll/select it.
