Do not use `shared` AA. Use `__gshared` + sync primitives.
`shared` AA will lead to all sort of bugs:

Hmm, I see.
Is `shared` safe to use with AAs *provided* I use sync
primitives, or should I favour `__gshared` over `shared`? I was
under the impression `__gshared` was only really meant for
interfacing with C.
The semantics of __gshared in this context is "no-TLS". You meant
to access the AA in several threads right ? So you dont want each
thread to have its own copy.
