  I can't help you with most of this, alas, but:

  Nope.  DGD enforces this for you itself.  You can just act like the
threads are running one at a time, one after the other.  Even on
multiprocessor DGD.  It's a neat trick, and works because DGD tracks some
things that few other languages/interpreters do.  Basically it's a side
effect of DGD having planes and atomic functions so threads can make sure
that they don't step on each other, and if they do then one of them gets
rolled back as if it had never happened.

If you post to the DGD list, you may see yourself there!
