It's a ok solution to a non-problem, I feel.
The only real problem I see with the existing JvSynchronized
helper class is the need to specify a dummy variable name.

I'm not sure I like adding a `synchronized' macro: macros are to be
avoided in C++, because they violate the other name-scoping rules.
Especially, a name like `synchronized', which might easily conflict
with other head files.  Still, if we want to avoid having to name a
dummy variable, we need to use a macro.  However. I think it should
be something following the Jv-prefix convention.
