I agree, and thus I think it's dangerous at best and harmful at
worst to make any recommendations to use shared for anything but
a mere type tag (with no intrinsic meaning) at the moment.
LDC certainly does not ascribe any special meaning to shared
variables, and last time I checked, DMD didn't make any of the
guarantees discussed here either.
