Eh, my terminal.d and simpledisplay.d can combine event loops, 
you use a muliplexing function like select() on both the window 
and terminal so it waits for either or both at once without 
either blocking the other.

It does mean you need to skip readln though, since its buffering 
can break those multiplexing functions.


Well, anyway, take a gander at:

which is Windows Vista and up. or on linux send yourself a sigint 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGINT_%28POSIX%29

kill(getpid(), SIGINT);

should do the trick. import core.sys.posix.signal; IIRC for those 
functions
