An object isn't reused during a write. A new item is allocated when
you begin a set. The old one is served out until the new write is
finished (at which point the old one is added back to the free pool).
I wasn't as worried about the thread synchronization because
a) The abstraction makes it trivial to add a mutex if necessary.
b) It's likely already in a mutex (although I didn't check)
