> The Clownfish bootstrap process isn't thread-safe. For a lock-free solution:
> - Class_bootstrap must set the global class pointer at the very end, possibly destroying the class if another thread set the pointer before.
> - The runtime inheritance cycle detection must be reworked, or simply left out. It only protects from a really contrived scenario.
> - Probably other things I missed.
> We could also consider a global lock using a locking facility provided by the host language.
