A friend, Mike Easter, told me about a podcast on transactional memory
that he really found valuable. After listening to it, I agree and felt
I should pass it on.

After listening to this it struck me that perhaps "dosync" should be
named "atomic" or "dotxn" or "dostm". I doubt that name will change at
this point though. When I first saw "dosync" I thought of a
synchronized block in Java. Of course it's not like that at all.
