Phobos and shared

[SHOO]

This is the very interesting agenda.

I know a method, but don't know that the method is recommended:

import std.bitmanip;
shared BitArray foo;
void main(){
	(*cast(BitArray*)&foo) ~= true;
}

In addition, your code is filled up many 'cast' if you try to solve it 
by this method.
This is clearly unfavorable.

This article says that the basic policy about the multi-thread uses 
message passing. When you use message passing, these problems rarely occur.
However, it is important that it is easily feasible even if it is other 
methods.

I want to know a policy about this agenda.
