looks like we still have to cast:
as of 2020, sigh.

Why not?

Because cast is ugly.

I've also tried this:
```
class A {
        SysTime time;
        synchronized setTime(ref SysTime t) {
                time = t;
        }
}

void main() {
        shared A a = new A();
        SysTime time;
        a.setTime(time);
}
```

Same Error: template std.datetime.systime.SysTime.opAssign cannot 
deduce function from argument types !()(SysTime) shared, 
candidates are:
/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/datetime/systime.d(659,17):        
opAssign()(auto ref const(SysTime) rhs)

However, we have a lock on the owning shared object, still we 
need cast to make it compile:
```
      cast()time = t;
```
