It can also be a lot clunkier for certain abstractions. Say I want a 
ProducerConsumerQueue. It's much more convenient to simply make it a 
synchronized class with the classic primitives, instead of primitives 
that accept delegates etc.

Nevertheless I think there's merit in this idea. One thing to point out 
is that the idiom can easily be done today with a regular class holding 
a synchronized class private member.

So we got everything we need.
