--- End diff --
the mutex governs the population of the catalog, to prevent two threads
from running this at the same time. looks to me that this is functioning
correctly. pure defensive programming could lock this down further and make
everything private but i think that would be overkill -- the fields and methods
are already protected or package private and the class marked `@Beta` which is
to say use caution when extending. that's the right level of defensiveness for
something which is evolving IMHO.
