Really cool presentation!

Btw I've noticed some outdated comments:

https://github.com/symmetryinvestments/concurrency/blob/7e870ffecb651a3859fac0c05296a0656d9ee9bf/source/concurrency/utils.d#L58
https://github.com/symmetryinvestments/concurrency/blob/c648b1af23efb7930077451a372a15d72d78f056/source/concurrency/stoptoken.d#L132

pause() is in fact supported now in DMD. Druntime uses it for its 
backoff spinlock implemented here: 
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/09d04945bdbc0cba36f7bb1e19d5bd009d4b0ff2/druntime/src/core/internal/spinlock.d

It was fixed in: https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14120

Someone should probably remove this outdated code and replace it 
with 'pause' (the net effect is the same, it's just rep; nop;)
