It would be a usability mistake to call the root object for 
something different than just "object".

It would be better to just move mutex to SynchronizedObject and 
either use source-to-source updates or give the users descriptive 
error messages.

D needs to focus more on usability and less on backwards 
compatibility. Streamline, clean up, not obfuscate.

Use proper versioning and let users decide whether they should 
upgrade or not. Or provide a compiler option for retaining old 
behaviour. Just don't add more mess to the mix in an attempt to 
"fix" things. Do it properly, or leave it as is.
