The deprecation of ++ shows that (currently) shared's purpose is 
not only to differentiate between shared and unshared data.

Either we go forward with the deprecation of ++. Then reads and 
writes should follow the same pattern. Or we should revert the 
deprecation of ++ and say that people must simply be careful with 
shared.

The current inconsistency is no good.
