And it never will. ;)
It has been successful done in other languages and has proven itself
useful. This is a difficult backend problem, but it can be solved.
The problem is not in the compiler back end, the problem is that shared
is completely useless as it is. There's no bridge from shared to
unshared, making it impossible to work with any real world code base.
I'd argue that shared shouldn't contains big stuff. Integers, pointer to
immutable data, flags, stuff like that.
For such usage, this would work. Still, you comment show that the
current state of things needs some work, and it is likely to impact both
shared and synchronized.
