Without this feature, making any spatial query from "set" type surfaces from parallel execution context will cause race condition. This is originally reported by https://github.com/utilForever/CubbyFlow/issues/217. Introducing mutex could be a natural solution, but that requires heavy assumption on the parallel executer (which is currently std::thread at the moment) which is not ideal -- it can be OpenMP, TBB, PPL, pthread, etc. In the near future, however, thread-safety-ness should be well documented for the public APIs.
