Yes, but method i changes is not related in particular to Transcript.
The change applies to all users of PluggableTextMorph.

But as for thread-safe transcript, you need to be careful when you
sending #changed message (each time you printing something - it sends
this message), because it using a notification mechanism to tell
listeners that there is something changed.
Maybe its worth adding #synchronousChanged method to Object
which guards from entry by multiple threads(processes) simueltaneously.
