Maybe it is me, but it is not about questions but it is about implicit 
statements that the code makes (or reader derives from it). When using 
complete_all you indicate to the reader "there can be more than one 
waiter". When using complete it indicates "there is only one waiter". If 
those statements are not true that is a code issue/bug.
