	   function.  The plugin is responsible for any locking or lock-free

	   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
