Not that I know of. It's used throughout the Java 2 Collections
implementations, for the Collection-views of Maps: we create them lazily the
first time they're used, and we don't bother with the doublecheck, as it
really doesn't matter if they're created more than once.
Overall, my guess is that these idioms are used quite frequently. I
wouldn't be at all surprised if you dug up ~100 uses in the JDK, or even
~200.
