// tokenBucket is a simple token bucket style rate limiter.

// It's similar in function to golang.org/x/time/rate.Limiter, which we
// can't use because:
//   - It doesn't give access to the number of accumulated tokens, which we
//     need for implementing hysteresis;
//   - It doesn't let us provide our own time function, which we need for
//     implementing proper unit tests.
//
// rate.Limiter is also much more complex than necessary, but that wouldn't
// be enough to disqualify it on its own.
//
// Unlike rate.Limiter, this token bucket does not attempt to
// do any locking of its own. Don't try to access it reentrantly.
// That's fine inside this types/logger package because we already have
// locking at a higher level.
