Here are a few interesting links:

But I don't know what the semantics are *supposed* to be, and
I get the impression noone else knows either. I'll be
watching this thread myself to see if someone can provide some
insight.

So it seems that although it's not properly implemented, it's
still not completely benign, right?
I am trying to create a shared queue/array of delegates that
run on the main thread. I don't know if D's 'shared' semantics
will affect it or not, and whether or not casting to/from
shared will cause problems with 'cas' or 'atomicStore'
Would the following code work as expected?
I'm not sure if it would or no, as I haven't used these features
of D before, but it looks like what you are trying to implement
is what `synchronized` already provides:
