p.s. generally you have to write code that can be used with shared vars
with special accuracy. that's why D made a clear distinction between
shared and thread variables and classes. you must explicitly declare
your intention to use something as shared. generally this increases
code safety and allows to writte better code.

this can be somewhat unusual for those who used to use C/C++ before, as
there is no such "guards" though.
