This kills 2 birds with 1 stone: Removes the necessity of locks and makes call_slot() realtime safe (req->invalidation->requests list push_back). On object destruction, the invalidation-record (IR) itself is invalidated. Invalidated IRs are pushed onto a trash-pool and deleted in the event-loop of the invalidated object (GUI thread) once all requests that reference it have been processed. One last detail remains: PBD::signal connect should reference the IR and disconnect unreference it. This will guarantee that signal emission will not reference the IR while the pool trash is dropped.
