43 * The global object is used in both Core and GUI clients. Storing and retrieving data is thread-safe.
44 * \note While updated data is propagated to all the remote parts of Quassel quite quickly, the synchronization
45 * protocol is in no way designed to guarantee strict consistency at all times. In other words, it may
46 * well happen that different instances of global data differ from one another for a little while until
47 * all update messages have been processed. You should never rely on all global data stores being consistent.
