I think this is where thread-local storage comes in handy. As the D
runtime does for dmd's -profile command line switch, you can have a
module-level Appender, which collects data for that thread without
worrying about race conditions.

You need the mutex only when each thread is exiting to combine their
results. Each static ~this() could grab the mutex and add its result to
the one global Appender. And that "global" Appender would be 'shared' or
__gshared; doesn't matter.
