You can read a summary of the Formal Assessment at the bottom
of the document:
https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/rejected/DIP1016.md
void atomicIncrement(ref shared long x);
atomicIncrement(myInt);
Raises a good point, not covered by @disable where the intent is
to modify it and modifying a temporary is wrong. `out ref`
perhaps?
