The problem here is, of course, that nobody knows exactly what shared is 
supposed to do. Not even me. Not even Walter.

One monumental piece of work would be DIP 1021 "Define the semantics of 
shared". Then people who build with -dip1021 know what to do and what to 
expect. Now that would patch one of the bigger holes mentioned in the 
other post.
