Hmmm.

In my mind, a "class" is meant tor managing code and variables, while a 
thread is for managing execution contexts.

These two concepts don't have anything to do with each other: a class 
and an instance of same can be "associated with" or "executed by" 
several threads, a thread can execute several instances of a class.

E.g. Even the standard "TThread" defines a single thread (this is how 
it's code is implemented) , but the some functions and variables of same 
are/can be  used by the thread, by another thread or by both.

Now you suggest that all procedures an instance of this kind of class 
are protected and thus thread-safe by definition.

This might be a really good thing, but needs some decent explanation as 
the bundling of code/variable administration and thread context 
administration is not a "natural" self-explaining concept.
