correction:
non-volatile -> not an issue, java.util collection aren't concurrent.

Let's restrict ourselves to the case where the forEach loop and the 
collection mutation appear in the same thread.
The count check is done in the forEach and the mutator increments the 
count so value can *NOT* be hoisted.
