Pardon my brain fart.

The last bit should be:

```
bool yieldTimeLimit(Task)(Task task, size_t timeLimit)
{
     while (!task.done && timeLimit)
     {
         import core.time : Thread, dur;

         Thread.sleep( dur!("msecs")(1) );
         timeLimit--;
     }

     return task.done;
}

...

if (task.yieldTimeLimit(1000)) // Waits 1000 milliseconds
{
     auto value = task.yieldForce();
}
```
