FYI: The Darwin source contains a comment that specifically says
@synchronized(nil) does nothing.

I'm wondering what the difference is between
@synchronized(myObject) {
//do stuff
}
and
{
[myLock lock];
//do stuff
[myLock unlock];
}

@synchronized(myObject) { foo; }

is more like:

@try
{
 [myLock lock];
 foo;
}
@finally
{
 [myLock unlock];
}

That is, it will be unlocked when an exception is thrown, or you
return from the current function, etc.
