There is still debate over exactly what will go into D2. Which features of Bartosz's design do you like? Dislike? Some feedback may help the offline discussion.

Personally, I like 
• the automatic ownership of member variables
• locking requirements are known at compile-time
• explicit lock free
• scope parameters (AKA lent)
• unique as a type

I dislike:
• completely automated locking (may lead to recklessness)
• verbose notation
