Out of curiosity, when it comes to primitives, what could you
do under MP in void "atomicInc(shared int*)" that would be
problematic?
void atomicInc(shared int*) {
// i.e. what goes here?

1. Anything if int* implicitly converts to shared int* (per
MP), because then that function is indeed unsafe.
Right, but the argument is a shared int*, so from what I've
understood... you can't do anything with it since it has no
shared members. i.e. you can't read or write to it. No?
2. Only actual platform-specific implementation bugs otherwise,
and these are beyond what `shared` can provide.
