And, I am glad they are **not** used everywhere by default.

I want to control when and where my threads interact with other threads. 
And anywhere else, they are to access only data that is not shared 
(including any list that they use, outside the zones I designated for 
sharing).
So no list (of my own, or any 3rd party code), in no thread of mine 
should manage that on its own. I will do so, as I see fit for the 
context of my app.
(That doesn't mean that I object to the existence of such list as 
alternative, that can be used wherever it is seen fit)

Of course, that means no 3rd party code must introduce global vars. If 
it does => bad.
