 `RBMutex` extends `sync.RWMutex` internally and uses it as the "reader bias disabled" fallback, so the same semantics apply. The only noticeable difference is in the reader tokens returned from the `RLock`/`RUnlock` methods.
 
+Apart from blocking methods, `RBMutex` also has methods for optimistic locking:
+```go
+mu := xsync.NewRBMutex()
+if locked, t := mu.TryRLock(); locked {

+	mu.RUnlock(t)

+if mu.TryLock() {
