const inout shared T is simply the same as const shared T.
shared means simply: this is not thread local,
therefore this thing might be used by other threads
therefore you read or write it in an expression directly.
You can however have a function take a shared argument and leave
the scheduling or locking or whatever synchronization you use,
to enact an operation in a safe way.
