I have a `shared string[int]` AA that I access from two

What is the common solution here? Do I add a module-level
`Object thing` and move everything accessing the AA into
`synchronized(.thing)` statements? Or maybe add a `shared
static` something to `Foo` and synchronise with
`synchronize(Foo.thing)`?
Do not use `shared` AA. Use `__gshared` + sync primitives.
`shared` AA will lead to all sort of bugs:
