# This class provides a trivial way to synchronize all calls to a given object
# by wrapping it with a `Delegator` that performs `Monitor#enter/exit` calls
# around the delegated `#send`. Example:
#
#   array = [] # not thread-safe on many impls
#   array = SynchronizedDelegator.new([]) # thread-safe
#
# A simple `Monitor` provides a very coarse-grained way to synchronize a given
# object, in that it will cause synchronization for methods that have no
# need for it, but this is a trivial way to get thread-safety where none may
# exist currently on some implementations.
#
# This class is currently being considered for inclusion into stdlib, via
# https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8556
