There's nothing stopping you from implementing your own 
primitives for manipulating shared data in betterC - core.atomic 
is only mentioned because it's the standard library way to do it.

It seems unlikely that core.atomic uses the features that betterC 
disables, and where it does a betterC version should be 
relatively easy to write. I expect this will be on dub within a 
week of this being implemented, and if it isn't you can just copy 
the parts you need from core.atomic.

In short, using shared in betterC may be harder, but it's far 
from unusable.
