Interfaces can be done with D templates. It'll be compile time polymorphism 
rather than run time, but the same effect will result (and of course it'll be 
faster).

It's pretty much how Ranges work in D.

My understanding of fibers is they are all in one thread. Go's green threads can 
be in multiple threads, the same thread, and even moved from one thread to another.

I don't know, either.

I don't think it's that hard of a problem.
