Shared variables are in the strawman proposal that guides this project. 
The draft spec explicitly identifies that they are not yet specified: "I 
am holding off shared variables for now". If you think that means they 
may never be included, despite being in the strawman, you could have 
asked before asserting that "project lambda didn't do us any favors here".
