/**
 * This class provides support for implementing Java-style synchronized methods in Javascript.
 *
 * <p>Synchronized functions are created from ordinary Javascript functions by the <code>
 * Synchronizer</code> constructor, e.g. <code>new Packages.org.mozilla.javascript.Synchronizer(fun)
 * </code>. The resulting object is a function that establishes an exclusive lock on the <code>this
 * </code> object of its invocation.
 *
 * <p>The Rhino shell provides a short-cut for the creation of synchronized methods: <code>sync(fun)
 * </code> has the same effect as calling the above constructor.
