shared still needs to be sorted out. The basic idea is solid, but the details 
need work. Right now, you basically have to cast it to thread-local all over 
the place to do much of anything with shared variable (obviously requiring 
that you protect that code with a mutex or synchronized block or whatnot so 
that it's thread-safe). It's not clear at this point what exactly we're going 
to do to improve shared.
