Take the following code:

```d
void main() //Can be empty, problem occurs regardless
{
}

int test(int a) //Test function.
{
    return 3 * a;
}
//Now overload it for shared...
int test(shared int a) shared
{
     return cast(shared(int))test(cast(int)a); //Note:  The 
problem still happens regardless whether you have this line or 
not.
}
```

Compiling on the latest version, the compiler output you get 
should be(assuming the file is named test.d):

```
Error:  function 'test.test' without 'this' cannot be 'shared'
```

What do you expect that second shared to do?

Generally qualifiers after the parenthesis apply to the hidden 
`this` parameter, and since there isn't one that's why it is 
failing.

If you wanted it to apply to the return value, you write that

shared(int) test() {}

and if you wanted something else, well it depends on what you 
wanted.
