const container objects can be accessed safely once constructed,
but not non-const containers accessed through a const reference or pointer.
My understanding is that this have nothing to do with the internal
concurrency safety
mechanism of standard containers.

Anyway a lockfree associative container would be great and (if a stable and
efficient
thread-pool implementation was also available) would allow me to remove TBB
from my
dependencies.
