+// Code within that accesses shared static or global data should

+
+// For example:
+// 
+// UMutex myMutex;
+// 
+// void Function(int arg1, int arg2)
+// {
+//    static Object* foo;     // Shared read-write object
+//    Mutex mutex(&myMutex);  // or no args for the global lock
+//    foo->Method();
+//    // When 'mutex' goes out of scope and gets destroyed here, the lock is released
+// }
+//
+// Note:  Do NOT use the form 'Mutex mutex();' as that merely forward-declares a function
+//        returning a Mutex. This is a common mistake which silently slips through the
+//        compiler!!
