-// So to implement this, one might first reach for a `StaticMutex`, but those
-// unfortunately need to be deallocated (e.g. call `destroy()`) to free memory
-// on all OSes (some of the BSDs allocate memory for mutexes). It also gets a

-// deallocated because it's not after the closure finishes, but after the first
