            // [^1] [^2]. We don't want to use this solution: an upgradable read lock is
            // basically a mutex because we are losing the shared access property, i.e.
            // having multiple read locks at the same time. This is an important property to
            // hold for performance concerns.
            //
            // ## Downgradable write lock
            //
            // One may also argue we could first obtain a write lock over the state from the
            // beginning, thus removing the need to upgrade the read lock to a write lock.
            // The write lock is then downgraded to a read lock once the dirty is cleaned
            // up. It can potentially create a deadlock in the following situation:
            //
            // - `read` is called once, it takes a write lock, then downgrades it to a read
            //   lock: the guard is kept alive somewhere,
            // - `read` is called again, and waits to obtain the write lock, which is
            //   impossible as long as the guard from the previous call is not dropped.
            //
            // ## “Atomic” read and write
            //
            // One may finally argue to first obtain a read lock over the state, then drop
            // it if the cross-process lock over the store is dirty, and immediately obtain
            // a write lock (which can later be downgraded to a read lock). The problem is
            // that this write lock is async: anything can happen between the drop and the
            // new lock acquisition, and it's not possible to pause the runtime in the
            // meantime.
            //
            // ## Semaphore with 1 permit, aka a Mutex
            //
            // The chosen idea is to allow only one execution at a time of this method: it
            // becomes a critical section. That way we are free to “upgrade” the read lock
            // by dropping it and obtaining a new write lock. All callers to this method are
            // waiting, so nothing can happen in the meantime.
            //
            // Note that it doesn't conflict with the `write` method because this later
