/**
 * Provides thread safe immutable implementations which ensure their local state stays valid even
 * when multiple threads access their memory at the same time without the need of outside locking or
 * synchronization operations.
 *
 * Please note that great care should be taken when binding to non thread safe implementations of
 * the specification as calls may come from different threads at the same time. As such, the use of
 * bidirectional bindings between thread safe and non thread safe bindings is highly
 * discouraged.
 *
 * Note however, that unidirectional bindings which cause thread safe implementations to be
 * called by a non thread safe implementations are generally safe as they do not violate this API
 * contract.
