I was wondering, should there be a split between the name and the
contents?
So that
my $a :shared;
my $b;
$b = $a = &fn;
So that access through $a is mediated. Access through $b is "don't do that".
Should perl take on the responsibility of coddling the user?
Perhaps a warning if the contents of a :shared variable moves into a
non-shared variable.
Alternatively, the thread doing the moving, somehow takes ownership
of the contents, and makes the contents unavailable to any other thread?
Thoughts?
