dmd 2.066(rc) generates warning: 'Deprecation: Read-modify-write operations
are not allowed for shared variables. Use core.atomic.atomicOp!"-="(a, 1)
instead.' for following code:

synchronized {
  ++a;
}

Is that correct given that it's inside synchronized?

I think yes.

Only this specific block is synchronized (only one thread can run
it at a time). Other accesses of `a` elsewhere are not
synchronized with this one.

If you know that this `synchronized` block is enough to make it
safe, you can cast shared away.
