Is it even possible to do synchronized classes in Java? That
is, but synchronized on the class declaration as in D.
I don't think so. synchronized is definitely for functions in
Java and C# (and at the moment, D). synchronized classes like
TDPL describes don't necessarily conflict with that, but they do
force all of the functions in a class to be synchronized, whereas
in Java or C#, only a portion of the class may care about or need
synchronization. synchronized classes are certainly safer though,
since they make it so that you can't get around the mutex without
casting.
