"""
Example that demonstrates/tests how objects survive synchronisation
jitter even if Python and JS are busy. We tried hard to make this
as painless as possible in Flexx, which is why this example may look
a bit dull. But the fact that this works is not trivial :)

What happens is that the ``the_thing`` property is set in the
``init()``. This will sync to JS, and then back again to Py (syncing
always ends at the Python side, for eventual synchronicity). However,
in the mean time, Python has set the property again, so by the time
that the prop gets synced back to Python, the first Thing is not there
anymore, and would be deleted (if we had not taken measures to prevent
that), which would cause problems.
