I like this development, the only thing that makes me wary is the implied TLS
behavior. I think I'd personally prefer it if tls was a keyword as well, and
all globals had to have either tls or shared (or __gshared) in their type,
rather than defaulting to tls if none is specified. So we'd force the
programmer to explicitly define the level of sharing. 

Some might view that as too verbose though?

I'm fine with the implicit but I'd like to see the explicit form as well 
(so they wouldn't pop up from -vtls).

You can do it explicitly with ___thread, though I was planning on 
deprecating that.
