Some time ago I had tried to mimic a example of Gorutines through the D
provided tools. The original Go code is no longer available, but IIRC the
std.concurrency version[1] was fairly close to what was done in Go. I also
wrote the same concept using std.parallelism[2]. Both of the programs have
been updated for the new std.datetime, though the concurrency version won't
compile because receive is unable to deduce parameter types.
