   state).

           function. The plugin is responsible for any locking or lock-free
           techniques necessary to make this possible.

           Note that in the simple case where state is only modified by restore(),
           there are no synchronization issues since save() is never called
           concurrently with restore() (though run() may read it during a save).

           Plugins that dynamically modify state while running, however, must take
