+ * StaticMutex is a Mutex that can (and in fact, must) be used as a
+ * global/static variable.
+ *
+ * The main reason to use StaticMutex as opposed to
+ * StaticAutoPtr<OffTheBooksMutex> is that we instantiate the StaticMutex in a
+ * thread-safe manner the first time it's used.
+ *
+ * The same caveats that apply to StaticAutoPtr apply to StaticMutex.  In
+ * particular, do not use StaticMutex as a stack variable or a class instance
+ * variable, because this class relies on the fact that global variablies are
+ * initialized to 0 in order to initialize mMutex.  It is only safe to use
+ * StaticMutex as a global or static variable.
