Shared has one incredibly valuable feature - it allows you, the
programmer, to identify data that can be accessed by multiple

only way to comprehend what is going on is to build a wall
around shared data.
(The exception to this is immutable data. Immutable data does
not need synchronization, so there is no need to distinguish
between shared and unshared immutable data.)

Isn't that also true for isolated data (data that only allows one
alias)?
