I can't comment on the future threading model, but I have been trying to use the current one by converting an existing multithreaded app. I've gotten a lot further than my last update on this list. Bugzilla 3660 is quite severe. My current understanding of the issue is that matching of function templates to attempted function calls isn't aware of the distinction between shared and non-shared functions.
