We don't have an initial implementation yet, sorry.  I'm sure it'll vary a lot 
by the application.  My hope is that it'll just be a few extra non-atomic loads 
and stores around every access, but it's possible that we'll need to make at 
least one of those an atomic exchange because it's legal for multiple threads 
to read concurrently.  It hinges in part on how comfortable we are with 
allowing conflicts to escape dynamic detection in complex concurrent cases.

Well, I think it's pretty semantically different from a var.  It's also really 
tempting to read the latter as "a var of inout type", suggesting that a 
re-assignment would bind it to different storage, which is not how it works, 
should work, or even could work.
