 * The class to which this annotation is applied is thread-safe. This means that
 * no sequences of accesses (reads and writes to public fields, calls to public
 * methods) may put the object into an invalid state, regardless of the
 * interleaving of those actions by the runtime, and without requiring any
 * additional synchronization or coordination on the part of the caller.
 * 
 * @see NotThreadSafe <p>
 *      Based on code developed by Brian Goetz and Tim Peierls and concepts
 *      published in 'Java Concurrency in Practice' by Brian Goetz, Tim Peierls,
 *      Joshua Bloch, Joseph Bowbeer, David Holmes and Doug Lea.
