No operation on an associative array is thread-safe. As such,
you should not be doing _any_ operation on a shared AA without

shared to access or mutate it or do whatever it is you want to
do with it other than pass it around. And then when you're
done, you make sure that no thread-local references to the AA
exist, and you release the mutex.

Thank you, that's exactly the big picture explanation I was
hoping for.
For others wrestling with this issue, I found out how to cast to
unshared at this article:
