Type Parameters:

T - typed parameter of this latch. This is the object type that is in the center of the event strands. A typical example could be INavigableVessel or IPlayer
```
public interface IOpenPatricianLatch<T>
```
A latch for OpenPatrician to allow one event strand to be split up into multiple parallel strand and and once all are finished be combined again. This is different from a traditional latch where an event strand would be a thread. Here the completion of event strands relies on in game time and specific events.
