2.1 Synchronized Invocation
===========================

 -- macro: call/synch
          (call/synch MUTEX PROCEDURE)

     Invoke `PROCEDURE' on the `(mutex-specific MUTEX)' while `MUTEX'
     locked.

     This is poorly named. Use 'apply/synch' to get the         	effect
     of the naive meaning of this operation.

 -- macro: apply/synch
          (apply/synch MUTEX PROCEDURE [ARGUMENT ...])

     Invoke `PROCEDURE' on the argument list `ARGUMENT ...' while
     `MUTEX' locked.

     This is poorly named. Use 'apply-with/synch' to get the
     effect of the naive meaning of this operation.

 -- macro: apply-with/synch
          (apply-with/synch MUTEX PROCEDURE [ARGUMENT ...])

     Apply `PROCEDURE' to the argument list `ARGUMENT ...' while
     `MUTEX' locked.

 -- macro: synch
          (synch MUTEX [EXPRESSION ...])

     Execute `EXPRESSION ...' while `MUTEX'         	locked.
