Well, not without somehow ensuring that there are no concurrent accesses
to the object, in any case. Here's what the guide says:

 If more than one thread needs to access a particular IModel
 instances, the application should enforce mutual exclusion itself. One
 way of achieving this is for all users of an IModel to lock the
 instance itself:

  IModel ch = RetrieveSomeSharedIModelInstance();
  lock (ch) {
    ch.BasicPublish(...);
  }
