There are decades of research in SMP and a raft of established practice...
outside of the classic and frustrating explicit use of mutexes and the like.
Why not agents, CSP, transactional memory, plain old parallel programming
instructions as per languages like Cilk, etc?  This is one area where I don't
think D should necessarily try to re-invent the wheel.
