Multi-threading hardly shares anything (only dynamically-allocated
and global data), while everything else (the entire stack) is per-thread.

Yeah, I'm being facetious. Slightly. If you're going to write
multi-threaded code, it's a good idea to wean yourself off of using global
variables and shared mutable state.
