This is better, but it still doesn't say how the 'guard' object is used.
Is the guard object supposed to respond to any particular messages (if
so, which messages, and what happens if one of them causes an exception
to be raised?), or can the runtime lock on arbitrary objects (if so,
what is the behavior wrt recursive locking)?
