  <pre id="var-docstr">Returns a global singleton function.  f is a function of no
arguments that creates and returns some object.  The singleton
function will call f just once, the first time it is needed, and
cache the value for all subsequent calls.

Warning: global singletons are often unsafe in multi-threaded code.
Consider per-thread-singleton instead.</pre>

  <pre id="var-usage">Usage: (per-thread-singleton f)
</pre>
  <pre id="var-docstr">Returns a per-thread singleton function.  f is a function of no
arguments that creates and returns some object.  The singleton
function will call f only once for each thread, and cache its value
for subsequent calls from the same thread.  This allows you to
safely and lazily initialize shared objects on a per-thread basis.

Warning: due to a bug in JDK 5, it may not be safe to use a
per-thread-singleton in the initialization function for another
per-thread-singleton.  See
