Rate Limit Example
------------------
This Throttle instance will rate limit the throttle to a maximum of 10 requests
every 30 seconds. It will not throw an error if the maximum is exceeded.

```javascript
'use strict';

const { Throttle } = require('generic-throttle');

const throttle = new Throttle(10, 30000, false);

function delay(){
return new Promise((resolve) => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve();
}, 2000);
});
}

function asyncRequest(i){
return throttle.acquire(() => {
console.log('%d does some async request', i);

return delay();
}).then(function(){
console.log('%d finished', i);
});
}

for(let i = 0; i < 30; ++i){
asyncRequest(i);
}
```

Concurrency Limit Example
-------------------------
This Throttle instance will limit concurrency to 5 requests at any given
moment. It will not throw an error if the maximum is exceeded.

```javascript
'use strict';

const { Throttle } = require('generic-throttle');

const throttle = new Throttle(5);

function delay(){
return new Promise((resolve) => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve();
}, 2000);
});
}

function asyncRequest(i){
return throttle.acquire(() => {
console.log('%d does some async request', i);

return delay();
}).then(function(){
console.log('%d finished', i);
});
}

for(let i = 0; i < 30; ++i){
asyncRequest(i);
}
```
