/// The `Atomic<Value>` wrapper is a generic wrapper providing a thread-safe way to get and set a value
///
/// A write-up on the need for this class and it's approaches can be found at these links:
/// https://www.vadimbulavin.com/atomic-properties/
/// https://www.vadimbulavin.com/swift-atomic-properties-with-property-wrappers/
/// there is also another approach which can be taken but it requires separate types for collections and results in
/// a somewhat inconsistent interface between different `Atomic` wrappers
///
/// We use a Read-write lock approach because the `DispatchQueue` approach means mutating the property
/// occurs on a different thread, and GRDB requires it's changes to be executed on specific threads so using a lock
/// is more compatible (and Read-write locks allow for concurrent reads which shouldn't be a huge issue but could
/// help reduce cases of blocking)
