Review of std.signal

[Robert]

Definitely a good thing to have. But nothing that could not be 
added later on, for now I just hope there will be enough people 
voting, so it can actually be included in phobos.

If your only concern is additional features and nothing that is 
wrong with the API, consider voting.

I added the issue to phobosx for now:

https://github.com/phobos-x/phobosx/issues/4

Best regards,

Robert
