// deserialized from the Mattermost server configuration in OnConfigurationChange.

// As plugins are inherently concurrent (hooks being called asynchronously), and the plugin
// configuration can change at any time, access to the configuration must be synchronized. The
// strategy used in this plugin is to guard a pointer to the configuration, and clone the entire
// struct whenever it changes. You may replace this with whatever strategy you choose.

// If you add non-reference types to your configuration struct, be sure to rewrite Clone as a deep
// copy appropriate for your types.

// reentrant. In particular, avoid using the plugin API entirely, as this may in turn trigger a
// hook back into the plugin. If that hook attempts to acquire this lock, a deadlock may occur.
