Yeah, so the thread with main in it should have the value set, but for every
other thread, it would be default-initialized. If you're just looking to set
it that one value for all threads and not change it, I'd suggest that you
just set it directly and make it immutable - or use enum, so it's a manifest
constant. If you want to change it though, you will need to use shared and
deal with protecting it appropriately when accessing it.
