I agree, and thus I think it's dangerous at best and harmful at 
worst to make any recommendations to use shared for anything but 
a mere type tag (with no intrinsic meaning) at the moment.

LDC certainly does not ascribe any special meaning to shared 
variables, and last time I checked, DMD didn't make any of the 
guarantees discussed here either.
