Quotations
abstract ;;Quote: simplify concurrent programming by lightweight transactions; use for shared data, object instantiation, exceptions, and blocking
388 ;;Quote: conditional, critical regions better than mutual-exclusion; non-blocking without priority inversion; reevaluate conditions on update
389 ;;Quote: lightweight, software transaction without object slots; thread synchronization; requires atomic compare-swap
389 ;;Quote: when writing mutex code must manage locks, decide on lock granularity, and handle deadlock; hides important safety and progress properties
