Consider also JLS3 17.4.1: "Local variables ... are never shared between 
threads and are unaffected by the memory model." A variable hoisted on 
to the heap is not a local variable, even if its declaration form looks 
similar to a local variable declaration statement. For example, you 
could morally have a volatile shared variable, whereas you cannot have a 
volatile local variable.
