+## This module contains Nimrod's support for locks and condition vars.
+## If the symbol ``preventDeadlocks`` is defined
+## (compiled with ``-d:preventDeadlocks``) special logic is added to
+## every ``acquire``, ``tryAcquire`` and ``release`` action that ensures at
+## runtime that no deadlock can occur. This is achieved by forcing a thread
+## to release its locks should it be part of a deadlock. This thread then
+## re-acquires its locks and proceeds.
