In C++, you need to assume things are shared, and, as such, use
thread safe inc/dec . That means compiler won't be able to optimize
them. D can do better as sharedness is part of the type system.
With the little nag that `shared` itself is not fleshed out.
Well, it really should be better fleshed out, but the reality of the
matter is that it actually works pretty well as it is. The problem is
primarily that it's a pain to use - and to a certain extent, that's
actually a good thing, but it does make it harder to use correctly.
Yah, I'd like to make "finalizing the language" a priority going
forward, and finalizing shared is a big topic. It's hard to present to
the world a language with fuzzy corners. -- Andrei
