"And if a public API is not thread-safe for some reason (like the usual compromises made in software development), then state this fact in BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS." I prefer to use the `Unsafe` prefix for this, to make it abundantly clear without looking at the call. E.g., `updateUnsafe`. I also use the `Unsafe` suffix when defining an HTML template rendering method that does not do escaping.
