Parallel example from documentation does not compile

[Russel Winder via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Sadly the answer is no.

This is due to https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5710 which
apparently no-one is either willing or able to fix. The problem
afflicts dmd, l;dc2 and I suspect gdc.

cf. https://github.com/russel/Pi_Quadrature/tree/master/D

for some extra detail and some workarounds.

It appears I had not added this original version, but I am now fixing
this.
