true, but *all* methods executions (synchronized and not) are
performed inside the handler, contained in the proxy instance anyway.

So an user cannot use the same "lock"  in order to synchronize a block
like this:

====
Graph g = CommonsGraph.synchronize(g_);
   ...
 synchronized(g) {
     for ( BaseLabeledVertex v2 : g.getVertices() )
     {
         // do somethings
     }
 }
====

I am not sure we can do much more of what we've already done, for that
situation: the snippet below mixes the *data structure*
synchronization with the business logic performed outside.

I have not clear which benefit you want to obtain with that - looks at
Collections#synchronized* methods and see that the separation of
concerns in clear.

Sure that we can, the only issue we have is that GroboUtils is not in
the central repo, adding the external repository would make not easy
having the component released.

best,
