/**
* <p>
* A package containing interfaces and classes related to synchronization of
* configurations.
* </p>
* <p>
* Whether a configuration object has to be thread-safe or not is application-specific.
* Therefore, this library allows an application to adapt configuration objects to
* their requirements regarding thread-safety by assigning them so-called
* {@code Synchronizer} objects. A configuration invokes its
* {@code Synchronizer} every time it is accessed (in read or write mode).
* If configurations are not accessed concurrently by multiple threads, a simple
* dummy {@code Synchronizer} can be used - this is also the default
* setting. To ensure thread-safety, a fully functional implementation has to be
* set.
* </p>
