class Foundation_API FastMutex: private FastMutexImpl
/// A FastMutex (mutual exclusion) is similar to a Mutex.
/// Unlike a Mutex, however, a FastMutex is not recursive,
/// which means that a deadlock will occur if the same
/// thread tries to lock a mutex it has already locked again.
/// Locking a FastMutex is faster than locking a recursive Mutex.
/// Locking a FastMutex is guaranteed to be at least as
/// fast as locking a Mutex. However, a FastMutex is not
/// guaranteed to be either recursive or non-recursive.
/// It is best suited to thread safe components like pools,
/// caches and queues where locking is internal to the component.
/// Using the ScopedLock class is the preferred way to automatically
/// lock and unlock a mutex.
