Yeah I've seen that when trying to break it apart. I'd really be glad if  
we could get
rid of using signals for suspending (it's causing another deadlock with  
std.parallelism).

The current motivation for the core.thread pimpl is to add shared library  
support,
which is rottening in my tree for almost 2 month. Fiddling that into the  
API file would be a mess.
