No, SwitchPoint primary use case is metaclass modification/alteration.
The problem is that several threads may want to update the same dispatch 
table.
If there is no synchronization the table after updates may contains
class of one thread and target method of another.

As I said, I think it's better to use an immutable table here, but I 
have to do some perf test.
