IMHO just TList is OH for this purpose. It (supposedly) is "per-instance 
thread safe": if an instance is used just by a single thread, the code 
is safe, if the same instance is used by multiple threads the code is 
not safe.

The necessity of a more complex definition of thread safety for Objects 
(as a tribute to the hidden self parameter that is not considered as an 
"input" by the average user) was the starting point of the discussion in 
the Lazarus list.
