Interface Lockable
- public interface Lockable
A marker used to indicate lockable objects. Lockable objects can be
locked for exclusive access by synchronizing on their lock object.
While often the lock will be the object itself, it's necessary to
separate the two concepts since composite object assemblies that
conceptually represent one coordinated object must have one lock for
the whole composite.

of an object may be allowed.
