Oh, right. No, I haven't thought through this enough to rule it out.
Indeed if that's an issue, the locks in the _once code will also be an
issue.
So if locking is totally impossible, then a race-free way of doing
this is with a tri-state compare and exchange. Things are either: in
state 1: no key, state 2: getting key, state 3: have key. If state 1
or 2, print the placeholder token. If state 3, do the hashing.
