Regardless, I think that it's clear that in order to do anything with thread-local pools, we'd have to lock down the type system even further to disallow casts to or from shared or immutable, and that would really be a big problem given the inherent restrictions on those types and how shared is intended to be used.
Apple's GC for Objective-C (before it had ARC) was using thread-local pools. I wonder how they manged to do that in a language that doesn't have a type system that differentiates between TLS and shared memory.
