Hi there, Wouldn't a better solution to the race conditions that David Koes is experiencing with global state be to remove the global state? For the cases he mentioned, e.g. the OBAromTyper, the global state relating to a single molecule can easily be moved to a OBAromTyperPrivate class instantiated by a TypeThisMolecule() function in the global class.
This is an API breakage, but only because these internal implementation functions were exposed. I think the time might be ripe for a couple of API cleanups, not for the sake of it, but where they limit or affect the toolkit's usage.
