I had an in-depth discussion with Andrei about this at 
https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/2115

He ultimately gave up on trying to explain it to me and created 
his own PR here:  https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/2126

It's be good to review that discussion, and perhaps weigh in on 
#2126.
