The problem is at the moment, that the D documentation covers the language, and Phobos - the latter option exposes Object to some extent.
Anything that is in core.* is undocumented and you have to 'rtfsc' - if you can find it. I can't even find "core.sync" in D files under dmd. Can you point me in the right direction please.
