Are you concurrently modifying and copying *the same* vector, or a
shallow copy that, under the hood, happens to be shared? The latter is
no problem; as soon as you try to modify the vector, it will detach, and
they'll cease being shared. The one that's just being copied is not
modified.

If you really have *the same* vector... Don't do that :-). Note that
this implies that you are either operating on the same variable, or one
thread is operating on a reference. That's not very common, and it's
just not thread safe, ever¹, regardless of the data type.

(¹ Well, besides atomic types, but we're talking about containers...)
