## Avoid Heap Operations

## Mutex and mutable go together (M&M rule, C++11)
For member variables it is good practice to use mutex and mutable together. This applies in both ways:
* A mutable member variable is presumed to be a shared variable so it should be synchronized with a mutex (or made atomic)
* If a member variable is itself a mutex, it should be mutable. This is required to use it inside a const member function.
