I believe someone (Ernie or someone else) did indeed extract some of the dispatch gem's mixins.

Yes. But he does state it is a read only not modified array. My understanding is. 'Array' is an NSMutableArray, I was merely suggesting using freeze to throw that exception just in case there maybe some code attempting to write/modify.

Mutex is the way to go but it also has an overhead.

Didn't somebody (Ernie?) already post a set of mix-ins for the mutable object classes that used a per-object GCD queue to serialize operations against the object?  If the mail archives were easier to search, I'd pull it up, but it isn't and I'm too lazy. :)
