Thanks, ..., okay, didn't know that. But even now I am in favor of a new keyword as it will be easier to have a reference to the shared memory (written in and reread from memory when modified) than every time refetching it when the shared memory block may have changed in an other program (what could really reduce race-conditions implicitly as as a developer you may forget to refetch the variable from shared memory). Yes, refetching always is already possible with an userland getter/setter, but I don't think it's best practice to do so in PHP...
