I'd like to interject that, if more threading support is to be added to 
the language, it may be worthwhile to look into moving away from 'native 
threads' (including pthreads) into something more lightweight as the 
internal basis for D threading. Like the recently posted StackThreads 
library maybe(?). Many other languages (especially functional languages) 
are taking this approach - better performance, flexibility and portability.

IMHO, it be best to either a) release v1.0 w/ thread support as-is and 
redesign it for v2 or b) delay v1 until it has any improvements Walter 
may deem worthy, because I can only see MT as becoming hugely important 
in the next couple of years.
