/*
* This mutex protects the various marshalling related caches in MonoImage
* and a few other data structures static to this file.
- * Note that when this lock is held it is not possible to take other runtime
- * locks like the loader lock.
+ *
+ * The marshal lock is a non-recursive complex lock that sits below the domain lock in the
+ * runtime locking latice. Which means it can take simple locks suck as the image lock.
