That would be bad - but still better than writing /incorrect/ code with 
no idea how that came to be!

The C++ committee were trying here to make it as easy as possible to 
write correct code, even if you don't understand all the details of 
multi-threaded programming (and few people do).  It adds a little cost 
that is not always necessary - but it is seldom a noticeable cost.  And 
for experts, there are ways to avoid it.
