Ah. In my original email I didn't explain *why* it is that "ideally I would
like to make the copy on a thread other than the main thread". The algorithm is
doing real-time video processing, and I very much want to avoid holding up
anything in that code path by synchronizing with the main queue. Past
experience has shown that that does lead to glitches I am keen to avoid. So,
while I'm a big fan of such constructions, I'm deliberately trying to avoid
that here.
Serializing access to MyParameters will work, it's just a shame that there
isn't such a tidy way of achieving that...
