I was hoping to have some more people weigh in with their experience with plugins, whether or not they're expected to be multi-threaded, thread-safe, etc.. I think the current design is fragile, and given the limited usage of D shared libraries atm, I think it's a good time to come up with something a bit more solid/predictable.
Using OSX shared libraries with both DMD and LDC for plugins, I'm trying to avoid all TLS, with LDC the only TLS I have is cached Obj-C selectors (pointers) which do not have constructors IIRC.
A real concern is then that Phobos would use TLS internally. Apart from that I don't really have an opinion.
