Update snippet 'Throttling agent'

Title

Description

Source code

// [snippet:Implementation]
// We can ask the agent to enqueue a new work item;
// and the agent sends itself a completed notification
type ThrottlingMessage = 
  | Enqueue of Async<unit>
  | Completed

let throttlingAgent limit = MailboxProcessor.Start(fun inbox -> async {
  // The agent body is not executing in parallel, 
  // so we can safely use mutable queue & counter 
  let queue = System.Collections.Generic.Queue<_>()
  let running = ref 0
  while true do
    // Enqueue new work items or decrement the counter
    // of how many tasks are running in the background
    let! msg = inbox.Receive()
    match msg with
    | Completed -> decr running
    | Enqueue w -> queue.Enqueue(w)
    // If we have less than limit & there is some work to
    // do, then start the work in the background!
    while running.Value < limit && queue.Count > 0 do
      let work = queue.Dequeue()
      incr running
      do! 
        // When the work completes, send 'Completed'
        // back to the agent to free a slot
        async { do! work
                inbox.Post(Completed) } 
        |> Async.StartChild
        |> Async.Ignore })
// [/snippet]

// [snippet:Demo]
// To use the throttling agent, call it with a specified limit
// and then add items using the 'Enqueue' message!
