I noticed that std.container.Array uses completely unsynchronized reference
counting. Does that mean that it's basically impossible to share it across
threads without introducing race conditions into the reference counting code,
even if you synchronize on other updates?
Are there any plans to mak

I would have thought that sharing pretty much _any_ type more complex than a
primitive type without it being synchronized would be a bad idea. And since the
standard containers obviously aren't going to be synchronized, I would expect

Personally, I'd say that not being able to use a container inside a
synchronized class without subverting the type system looks like a
failure of the type system.
How about an insufficiency of the container library?
Well, that depend
