     * The synchronize() factory make easier to lock on a scope.
     * As discussed, operator-> can only lock over the duration of a call, so it is insufficient for complex operations.
     * With synchronize() you get to lock the object in a scoped and to directly access the object inside that scope.
     *
     * Example
     *   void fun(synchronized_value<vector<int>> & v) {
     *     auto&& vec=v.synchronize();
     *     vec.push_back(42);
     *     assert(vec.back() == 42);
