Threads don't scale, processes do - Fibers

Polymorphism is already used for that. You could modify __monitor (or 
(cast(void*)this)[1]) in an object to show to a struct with an interface 
reference for lock() and unlock(). You can then synchronize(...) on 
that, so I don't think you have to touch Thread for that. That is what 
I've seen in tango.core.sync.Monitor.

Thanks, but CSP seems to have very little connection to this.
