The spec says that there is an ordering of the synchronisation
actions.

So, this means that the JVM must order all synchronization actions in
some ordering that is consistent with the program ordering in each
thread.

However, if it places a sync actions later than another sync action,
that still doesn't mean that the later one "happens after" the first
one?
