That is good to know. I should expect this kind of feature to be 
present, after all betterC must be a working subset of D. But, I 
wasn't sure enough.

Based on the responses I'm assuming my example of atomic is a 
special case, but I shouldn't worry about low level things like 
threads to be absent all the same.

That's betterC targeting native. What about WASM? Does LDC -> 
WASM pipeline supports functionality one needs in a C-level 
language? If not, aside from atomics, one should be able to use C 
libraries to supplant any other purpose, right? Since C has 
mature support for WASM.
