 The problem is when you create an *extendable* system like the 
 one I'm doing.  At that point, you can lock when you cast away 
 shared, but you have no idea whether a method call is going to 
 squirrel away an unshared reference to itself somewhere, so 
 that when you go back to shared (and unlock), there's a leaked 
 thread-local reference somewhere.

 It may have to require documentation-based restrictions (i.e. 
 not-compiler-enforced).  I haven't put enough thought into the 
 possible means to do this.  Ideas are welcome!
