hmm, I'm not sure I have the same definition for 'race condition' as
you have. Of course I could write non-safe code that presents a race
condition. Is your point that you want to make it impossible to write
non-thread-safe code ?

Or are you claiming that the code I have shown contains a race condition
(which I still don't see) ?
