in an unspecified order.
This means that races on multiword data structures
can lead to inconsistent values not corresponding to a single write.
When the values depend on the consistency
of internal (pointer, length) or (pointer, type) pairs,
as can be the case for interface values, maps,
slices, and strings in most Go implementations,
such races can in turn lead to arbitrary memory corruption.
