We use std.signals on DQuick, signals are critical for a GUI system, but 
there is no advanced GUI library written completely in D for the moment. 
For the moment DQuick still have a long way to do before really needing 
something better.

Maybe a day having thread safe ones will be essential but not for the 
moment, we have so mush things to fix and so few time to do it...

Sadly I doubt about the benefit of testing new signals on DQuick at his 
current stage.

Please don't loose hope cause we read this forum, and seeing people 
working on such subjects help us to save motivation.
