It is not a solution indeed, it is explanation why no one has
considered writing one important so far (which you seemed to be
surprised about in the first post). Same for concurrent data
storage structures or anything else that implies "casual"
concurrency - it is too rarely needed.
I am afraid most likely you will need to write your own if this
is a must :(
