I'd like to see some statements in the Javadoc about the intended
thread safety or otherwise of the classes.

I expect some classes are not thread-safe - e.g. streams - but there
may be some utility classes that are thread-safe. It would be useful
to document this both for the user and developer.

However, if there are any classes that are thread-hostile (*), (I've
not noticed any) I would expect these to be fixed before release!

(*) e.g. mutable static variable
