If you have asynchronous calls that you can poll, you can make it work 
with vibe.d, albeit awkwardly. (Start request, poll+yield, return when 
there's a result.) If you only have synchronous calls, you'd have to 
introduce IO threads and synchronization.

It's awkward to make things compatible with vibe.d and Phobos IO. The APIs 
are rather dissimilar, so you can't just, for instance, have different 
imports under a version() block.
