[Insight-developers] Re: LightObject race condition fix

There's the real issue -- some effort goes into encouraging ITK code to
never use a bare pointer.  Two threads can even share a reference to a smart
pointer -- provided they use locks around code modifying the object pointed
to.

But raw pointers are pretty much a menace, and I've never been clear why
some ITK code uses them as parameters...
