;; Concurrency example from The Pragmatic Programmers. Waiters check if there's
;; enough pie and ice cream before they sell an order, but if they don't
;; coordinate it's still possible to sell more than we have.
;;
;; The below code should return either :ok or :not-available for a given order.
;; If we oversell, then it will throw an exception.
;;
;; How would you change this to ensure that that doesn't happen?
