[D-runtime] Update request from tango runtime

[SiegeLord]

Anyone at all? At the very least, could you make the Fiber internals 
protected instead of private? To the best of my understanding of the 
core.thread module it is impossible right now to create any 
fundamentally new thread-like objects because necessary initialization 
happens in thread_init, which isn't a function that can be extended by 
user level code. It is also impossible to extend Thread/Fiber directly 
since everything interesting is private and final.
