/**
 * A simple implementation of the <a
 * href="https://martinfowler.com/bliki/CircuitBreaker.html">Circuit Breaker</a> pattern
 * that opens if the requested increment amount is greater than a given threshold.
 *
 * <p>
 * It contains an internal counter that starts in zero, and each call increments the counter by a given amount.
 * If the threshold is zero, the circuit breaker will be in a permanent <em>open</em> state.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * An example of use case could be a memory circuit breaker.
