// Code within that accesses shared static or global data should
// should instantiate a Mutex object while doing so. You should make your own
// private mutex where possible.
// For example:
//
// UMutex myMutex;
//
// void Function(int arg1, int arg2)
// {
// static Object* foo; // Shared read-write object
// Mutex mutex(&myMutex); // or no args for the global lock
// foo->Method();
// // When 'mutex' goes out of scope and gets destroyed here, the lock is released
// }
//
// Note: Do NOT use the form 'Mutex mutex();' as that merely forward-declares a function
// returning a Mutex. This is a common mistake which silently slips through the
// compiler!!
