Stop! Before you go down that road, application-level conflict resolution if an extremely advanced feature. It's on the same level as meta classes and custom import hooks in a Python. It's a last resort (or maybe the one after that). The first thing you need to ask yourself is why your application wants to update the same value from multiple threads. This is a hot spot. Hot spots: bad. Most applications will need to update the same value from multiple threads occasionally. Occasionally retrying is fine. If your application wants to update the same value from multiple threads often, then that's a design problem you should solve.
