Monitors, like Java has.  IIRC, they're the fundamental locking
primitive on the JVM, rather than mutexes.

A monitor is essentially a collection of procedures (generally with some
shared state/resources/variables) protected by a mutex; entering one of
the procedures in a monitor automatically acquires that lock; exiting
such a procedure releases it.
