Hello Glavo,

This discussion has been focused on monitor lock objects used for plain old
Java synchronization. Whether ReentrantLock has advantages over Java
synchronization is an interesting discussion, but probably a side track
from this one. A lot of code uses synchronized just fine, that's probably
not going to change any day soon.

Cheers,
Eirik.
