Using Thread directly like that, you can override shared when passing
data around. It's because natively, pthreads (or whatever threading
system) doesn't care about shared, so it's on you to make sure you use
it correctly.
Note that before TDPL, shared was this "new undefined" concept, even in
D2, and Thread existed in D1 where there was no shared concept.
If you want full shared guards, use std.concurrency only.
