Andrei is a proponent of having shared to memory barriers, I
disagree with him. We haven't convinced each other yet, so this
is a bit up in the air.
FWIW, I'm with you on this one. Memory barriers would not make
shared more useful, as they do not solve the issue with
concurrency (as you have explained earlier).
