9 * In a situation where a lock is needed per object, having a mutex can be
10 * relatively memory expensive (40 bytes on x86-64). If the object can be
11 * constantly hashed, a sharded mutex is an alternative global pool of mutexes
12 * where the mutex is looked up from a hash value. This can lead to collisions
13 * if the number of shards isn't large enough.
