| that might be used from multiple threads, declare how you protect |
| data against concurrent access, race conditions, deadlocks, etc., |
| and whether such rules are enforced by runtime warnings, errors, assertions, etc. |

| be fully thread-safe (internal locking); might require access through a mutex |
| (and may or may not automatically acquire that mutex on behalf of a client method); |
| might be able to run only in the event queue; etc. |
