[gdal-dev] RFC 101 thread-safe raster datasets and vsimem?

Hi all,

Under design limitations of RFC 101, it says

> But, there is currently no support for creating a thread-safe dataset
wrapper on on-the-fly datasets returned by some algorithms (e.g
GDALTranslate() or GDALWarp() with VRT as the output driver and with an
empty filename, or custom GDALDataset implementation by external code).

Are vsimem datasets a kind of on-the-fly dataset that are not supported? Or
can we expect vsimem datasets to be clone-able with thread-safe wrappers?

Thanks!
