But maybe there's a simpler model that we could still turn on in debug builds. Can you file a bug report requesting this now that bugs.swift.org <http://bugs.swift.org/> is back up?

Something like ConcurrentModificationException ought to be cheaper than the thread sanitizer. The thread sanitizer works hard to detect every concurrency error. ConcurrentModificationException typically does something simple and cheap that catches errors sometimes but makes no attempt to be exhaustive.

Objective-C's fast enumeration protocol includes a mechanism like this. The collection can have a simple mutation counter, and the enumerator captures the counter's value at the start and checks that the value is unchanged as the enumeration proceeds.
