Hey Jonathan,

Thanks for the long and insightful answer.
The object is indeed constructed from the main thread, but 
afterwards multiple threads need to read the values given via the 
command line. since everything in the object is read only I was 
hoping to get away with making it shared.

I should just define tls variables to use with getopt and then 
set the corresponding variables in the shared object.
