I saw the change[1] and I wonder why there are mentions to the DMD
implementation. Shouldn't that be implementation agnostic, being in the
"common" part of the runtime? I guess _tlsstart and _tlsend should be
added to the runtime specification[2] too, right?

BTW, the change broke the indentation style of druntime :S

Thank you.
