P.S. FTR, I wish we could also remove the per-object monitor from its privileged position, so not all objects are burdened by it, and other forms of lock can be switched into the existing notation on a type-by-type basis. This is obviously a long, long term wish. A starting point is a notion of "this object has no monitor". Probably the keyword cannot be repurposed but would eventually be deprecated. And the Moon will reach Roche limit.
