Since I/O is thread-safe[1], it should ideally be `shared`
the way you put it.
Also it sounds like a bad decision.
void f()

printf("hello ");
printf("world\n");

If you have shared stdout and this function runs in 2 threads,
you will get a character soup

hello hello world
world

If you have a separate line buffered stdout for each thread, you
will get whole lines in the output
---
hello world
hello world

And incur no locking.
