    Add this decorator to small pieces of code that you want to test
    concurrently to make sure they don't raise exceptions when run at the
    same time.  E.g., some Django views that do a SELECT and then a subsequent
    INSERT might fail when the INSERT assumes that the data has not changed
    since the SELECT.
