There is a focus on "low level" concurrency building blocks, at 
least that is my impression. I don't think they copied modules or 
if constexpr, it is just that the adoption process in an ISO 
process is very slow?

I think D should focus more on streamlining the low level and 
make high level easier.  E.g. async/await, tasks, local GC, as 
high level constructs, but allow the user to write their own 
runtimes and schedulers. So the API has to be concise.
