A thread-safe variant of the interner. Also provides a global interner (when the global feature is enabled), which comes with a free function intern, as well as an intern method for a few string types.

Locks the GlobalInterner, saves the given string if it is not already saved, and returns the saved string, or blocks until it is able to do so.

Type Aliases
