Makes sense.  Or if not a 2nd implementation, then some other way to make
the synchronization cost optional.  We'd probably want to be fast by
default.  I agree that most usage is single-threaded.  And if your perf is
bad, people will avoid your whole API, and then thread safety will be a moot
point.
