The example code for std.concurrency.Generator [1] throws an OwnerTerminated
exception. The code:

----
import std.concurrency;
import std.stdio;


void main()
{
    auto tid = spawn(
    {
        while (true)
        {
            writeln(receiveOnly!int());
        }
    });

    auto r = new Generator!int(
    {
        foreach (i; 1 .. 10)
            yield(i);
    });

    foreach (e; r)
    {
        tid.send(e);
    }
}
----

The exception gets thrown because the spawned thread still tries to receive
ints after the main thread has finished. The example code should be fixed.
