In case I'm not being clear enough here, the huge macro
is a *sample* implementation of the public API, but it's
not the only one. Anyone can write an implementation for
any platform so long as it has the same semantics that
the vectored functions in the struct require.

Note the sample code in the macro doesn't make use
of the lock names or debugging __location__ information,
but another implementation could easily do so for
debuggin purposes.
