    020 * <p>
    021 * An implementation of the {@code Synchronizer} interface which does not perform any synchronization.
    022 * </p>
    023 * <p>
    024 * This class is the option of choice for applications that do not access configuration concurrently. All methods
    025 * required by the {@code Synchronizer} interface are just empty dummies. Therefore, this class does not have any
    026 * synchronization overhead. Of course, configurations using this {@code Synchronizer} implementation are not
    027 * thread-safe!
    028 * </p>
    029 * <p>
    030 * Implementation note: This class is an enumeration because only a single instance needs to exist. This instance can be
    031 * shared between arbitrary configurations.
    032 * </p>
    033 *
    034 * @since 2.0
