I think that for the most part, the question of thread-safety
and const that
you've been discussing is moot. const by itself is thread-local
by definition.
Whether you use const or immutable really has no impact on
thread safety - not
from the perspective of the function being called anyway. The
only way that
you can end up having to worry about thread-safety in such
functions is if the
caller casts away shared on a variable and then passes it to
the function.
Very good point. "shared" has been paid minimal attention lately
and I keep forgetting it actually can be used :)
