I'm very much against binding any dynamic memory to any thread. 
It collides with a lot of programming models. For example threads 
created outside D, in C++ or any other language has no knowledge 
of D GC memory. This means that FFI is much more complicated.

Also threads are like prostitutes, they do the work of the client 
and then another client comes along doing some other work. 
Typically example are thread pools where any thread can do any 
work. Also bring fibers into the equation makes this even more 
unfitting.

Memory bounded to a thread is a bad idea and as time moves on it 
becomes more clear that a program should not assume which thread 
they are running (should only operate on self) and also not which 
CPU they are running on.
