To be consistent, I'd say you'd need at least a cast. Do you need a 
lock? I don't think so for something that has a const storage class.

Note that the DIP does not address whether you need a lock for anything, 
it just says you can't use it in it's "shared" form, you need to cast 
away shared or use a function that does this internally.
