 `RefCell<T>`, which both use non-atomic reference counts (_atomic_ reference counts are those which
 can be incremented from multiple threads without causing a data race), cannot be used this way. This
 makes them cheaper to use, but we need thread safe versions of these too. They exist, in the form of

 Note that the non-threadsafe types _cannot_ be sent between threads, and this is checked at compile
 time.
