The confusion between "thread safe" and "main thread only" on this
list hasn't helped, either...
From a documentation perspective there is no single or simple
definition of "thread safe", it all depends on the context.
Some objects are not thread safe, and also have the restriction that
they can only be used on the main thread. Other objects, while still
not being thread safe, can be used on a non-main thread - As long as
they're only used on one thread. Other objects, while still not thread
safe, can be used from different threads - As long as they're only
ever used from one thread at a single time. Et.c., et.c.
The complexity of this topic makes it difficult to create the same
type of documentation that we enjoy for the simple API reference of
classes and methods.
