Will the 'set' and the 'get' operation conflict?

[Clint Webb]

it should be alright if the individual items are atomic.  however, if
for example you need to set 5 items and you dont want any of them
accessed until they have all been set, then you would want to use
locking.   there are examples elsewhere on how to make your operation
exclusive and atomic.
