Remember that Go vs D MQTT thing and how we wondered about dmd vs gdc?

I know it would be breaking for other services on the computer 
assuming it's a desktop, but dedicated servers or embedded 
devices can make great use of such a feature. I'm sure this 
implementation could be done without restricting everything to 
it, especially with functional programming as we have it in D. I 
assume a demonstrated ten-fold increase in performance by-passing 
kernel is a radical justification for this.
