Here is the pull request:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/1302

@Steven Schveighoffer: It doesn't work - `static shared(T)` does the same as
`static shared T`.

I assume the proper solution would be to fix this, but I leave the pull request
open anyways. Like I said - there should be a compiler solution - but we don't
know how many people use the `static shared(T)` syntax with the intention of
declaring a process-global variable, and we can't show a warning message when
this syntax is used wrongly - so the dmd solution requires some serious debate.
In the meanwhile, the Phobos solution doesn't break anything, and it took me 20
minutes: 1 for the implementation, 2 for the unit test, and the rest for all
the "paperwork"(=sending this bug and the pull request) - so I planned from the
beginning to send it and let the dev team decide if they want to use my Phobos
solution or to fix it in dmd.
