Is there any plans to make working signals in D?

That doesn't mean anything. No information is stored into a ptr 
except an address in memory.

It look self evident to me that the earth is flat when I look

I don't care about the cost. You have made no point in 3 pages in 
favor of the change you propose. Not even an invalid point I can 
disagree on.

It is an example of a library interface issue (very real). To 
propose a language change, you must show that this limitation is 
in fact a symptom of a deeper cause, which it at language level 
(so that must be fixed at language level).
