I'm starting to incline towards the view that type qualifications of _any_ kind
become problematic once you start working with any types other than built-in,
and not just in the context of concurrency. See e.g.:

I'd really appreciate advice on how to handle issues like these, because it's
becoming a serious obstacle to my work on std.rational.
