It looks like Transarc implemented this feature the cheap way (which has
some bad side-effects). In user-code, they fetch all tokens, destroy
all tokens, and then restore the needed tokens. Of course, this means
there is a window of time that all the tokens are gone, in which case
another user-process may choke due to a sudden loss of access.
