That seems true - internally D just wraps POSIX (pthread.h 
especially) or whichever threading mechanism exists on the OS.

Fortunately I have a rally nice and universal solution going 
around my head, which would make most of D runtime available for 
small embedded targets like Cortex-M3 (; If I could just stretch 
the day a bit, to - say - 96h...
