+TL;DR - Why `read_lock` and `write_lock`
+---------------------------------------
+
+The `Dynamic` API that casts it to a reference to a particular data type  is `read_lock`
+(for an immutable reference) and `write_lock` (for a mutable reference).
+
+As the naming shows, something is _locked_ in order to allow this access, and that something
+is a _shared value_ created by [capturing][automatic currying] variables from [closures].
+
+Shared values are implemented as `Rc<RefCell<Dynamic>>` (`Arc<RwLock<Dynamic>>` under [`sync`]).
+
+If the value is _not_ a shared value, or if running under [`no_closure`] where there is
+no [capturing][automatic currying], this API de-sugars to a simple `downcast_ref` and `downcast_mut`.
+
+If the value is a shared value, then it is first locked and the returned lock guard
+then allows access to the underlying value in the specified type.
