I think that even with lock free datastructures such as Intel
Threaded Building Blocks, you would still gain from using a
non-synchronizing API where possible. In real code you have
several layers for functioncalls, so doing this by hand will
complicate the code.
If you can propagate knowledge down the call chain about locality
and the semantics of object interfaces or clusters of objects,
then you can relax restrictions on the optimizer and get better
performance on real-world code. This would be a natural direction
for D, since it is already encouraging templated code.
The alternative is to hand code this where it matters, but that
is inconvenient...
