I don't get what `auto message = client.receive(buf);` is 
supposed to call exactly.

If you mean to call std.concurrency.receive [1], it's way off. 
That's what the error message complains about.

If you mean to call a method of Client, well it doesn't have a 
`receive` method.

Also, you have too many asterisks (*). Classes already have 
reference semantics in D. There's no need for `Socket*` or 
`Client`. Just use `Socket` and `Client`.
