I think there's quite some disconnect here. If there's any
anti-pattern in this discussion, it's operating on an implicit,
hidden, global mutex. Walter agreed to eliminate that from D, but
never got around to it.
They're not really global, it's one per synchronized block.
That means global. They're terrible and should be eliminated from the
language.

So you do agree that explicit synchronization is better?
No. It's worse most of the time, and usefully more flexible sometimes.
