But would we want to make a distinction between globals that are actually thread-local and globals that can be shared?

We discussed this briefly at the CG meeting, but came to the conclusion that further bikeshedding should happen on the GH issue. :-}

I haven't heard any, but maybe now that you've poked this thread there will be some more... :-) I got the impression that folks were not happy with the name...

Sorry about that, I thought there was discussion in the CG meeting about this, but it appears there wasn't. I'm happy to write up a design for this unless you...
