+
+If the `synchronized_value` object involved is const-qualified, then you'll only be able to call const methods
+through `operator->`. So, for example, `vec->push_back("xyz")` won't work if `vec` were const-qualified.
+The locking mechanism capitalizes on the assumption that const methods don't modify their underlying data.

+The synchronize() factory make easier to lock on a scope. As discussed, `operator->` can only lock over the duration of a call, so it is insufficient for complex operations. With `synchronize()` you get to lock the object in a scoped and to directly access the object inside that scope.

+While the preceding takes care of dead-lock, the access to the synchronized_value via unique_lock_ptr requires a lock that is not forced by the interface.
+An alternative on compilers providing a standard library that supports movable std::tuple is to use the free synchronize function, which will lock all the mutexes associated to the synchronized values and return a tuple os strict_lock_ptr.

-synchronized_value has value semantics even if the syntax let it appear as a pointer.
+synchronized_value has value semantics even if the syntax lets is close to a pointer (this is just because we are unable to define smart references).
