There's code in DWT and Tango as well that throws a SyncException exception when
failing to acquire a lock.
The code in DWT is basically copy pasted from Tango. Since druntime is derived
from Tango I guess we can update the code in DWT and Tango to do what druntime
does now, which is to throw an error instead.
It's still a breaking change.
Although I see now that there is a problem with updating the code in DWT. In
some cases it catches SyncException with some logic based on that. In one case
the try-catch is wrapped in a loop and will continue to try to acquire the look
[1].
Perhaps instead of throwing an exception it can try to re-acquire at the lower
level.
In another case it catches SyncException and triggers an interrupt [2],
which I see now is not implemented [3].
I suppose the code has to decide if it is a fatal error or not.
