About Cottle templates in function arguments

I think I've got to the bottom of why EDDI is highlighting e.g. line 90 of the "Bodies to map" script in v3.5.2.

No built-in Cottle functions reparse their arguments

There is no equivalent of eval() in Cottle as far as I can see. That may well have been a conscious decision: I do not know. Anyhow, all arguments passed to functions are just inert strings and are not subject to further parsing by Cottle.

Proof: if I feed this to the demo app in the Cottle project:

{set mappedBodies to 1}

Intro

I've been asked to expand on why C#/.NET classes having public mutable collection properties are incompatible with thread-safety, and why immutable collections or the specialised concurrent collections might be better choices.

All code below can be run in Visual Studio's "C# Interactive" window.

The problem

The problem is this: it's fundamentally not possible to make a class thread-safe which exposes properties that are mutable collections, even if the setter is private.
