🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so. The sc::ThreadLock abstract class provides mutex locks to be used in conjunction with ThreadGrp's. that's the whole assignment. that's her main character energy ✨

IMPORTANT-IMPORTANT, do not skip this 🙈 — ThreadLock objects should be locked and unlocked with ThreadLockHolder objects to provide exception safety. fr fr, don't be out here raw-dogging lock() and unlock() calls, because if an exception gets thrown between them you're gonna have a bad time 😭 the ThreadLockHolder is your emotional support safety net 🧚
