/**

 * This class is the option of choice for applications that do not access
 * configuration concurrently. All methods required by the {@code Synchronizer}
 * interface are just empty dummies. Therefore, this class does not have any
 * synchronization overhead. Of course, configurations using this
 * {@code Synchronizer} implementation are not thread-safe!
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Implementation note: This class is an enumeration because only a single
 * instance needs to exist. This instance can be shared between arbitrary
 * configurations.
