Then what you want is not implicit unshared->shared conversion. What you 
want is a different way to type shared member access. You want a setup 
where shared methods are only allowed to access shared members and 
unshared methods are only allowed to access unshared members.

I.e., what you want is that shared is not transitive. You want that if 
you have a shared(C) c, then it is an error to access c.m iff m is not 
shared. This way you can have partially shared classes, where part of 
the class is thread-local, and other parts are shared with other threads.

Is this it?
