I assume given a type that is not wrapped by a protected type (i.e. a type
in a 3rd party package), one could wrap a protected type around it to
make it thread safe?

i.e. if I have nice Queue package and I want to use with tasks, but I do not
have the code for that package, can one still use protected types with it?
