If you use e.g. a ManualResetEvent then this will work exactly as you
describe.  When you signal the caller (via Set()) this will get
stored.  If you are running on the same thread, WaitOne will return
immediately since you set it earlier.  If you are on separate threads
then the WaitOne will return when Set is called.
