No, since he point is to avoid call-ins to non-thread-safe native code.
For the sake of argument, that means all of Swarm...

If you need to have a thread modify the state of the world, make sure
the thing you're changing is a pure Java object, say, a
java.util.List.  Then Swarm can look at that thing when it is in
control, i.e. issuing actions from a Schedule.

You'll probably have to schedule more events or piggyback
queue-checking code on existing actions.  (Objective C users will be
hearing "doTkEvents"..)
