My bad.

The point that is missed is the lazy creation. Imagine if it's not just
an int but a whole large resource, which takes a long time to create/open.
If all we cared about is access, and you *know* you are going to need it,
you can just create it eagerly via shared static this(). That is not what
the singleton pattern is for.
