--- Comment #1 from Andrei Alexandrescu <andrei at erdani.com> ---
This is not possible. Thanks Timon Gehr for explaining this to me. Consider:

shared int* p;

struct S
{
  int x;
  void func() shared { p = &x; }
}

void bug()
{
    auto p = new S;
    p.func;
    ++p.x;
}

At this point we have threads getting shared access to x, but the current
thread believes x is unshared.
