Do you think having an option to disable TLS in D is not good then?  I
would put our warning for each variable that should have been a thread
local.

BTW Jacob, I started using DStep to translate some of the iPhone SDK
headers, like CoreFoundation.framework for use in sample iOS apps.  Has
anybody already done this and put in in repo somewhere?  I don't want to
be redoing what someone else has done.  I am looking forward to when
Objective-C support is in D as I am just using objc_msgSend directly
now.  I wonder how much work it will be to get into LDC.
