Only if there is only one EventLog object. A synchronized class means 
that there can be only one member function executed on the same object 
at a given time. Your code is the equivalent of the following:

class EventLog{
     void opCall(string s){
         synchronized (this) {    // <-- NOTE (this)
             std.file.append("logfile.txt", s);
         }
     }
}

So, opCall (and other member functions) is synchronized on a particular 
object.

If you have more than one EventLog, then they can write to the same file 
at the same time and that would be a problem.
