Thank you very much for your thorough review! I integrated your
ideas and comments in the latest version. Some additional
information on what I changed and questions left are below.

The current title is "D's basics". I'm unsure what to fix here..

Done.

I tried to make this part more precise.

Very good idea. I created a new static section in the
multi-threading chapter.

Tried to make it more precise here, too. I also moved the section
below classes because it actually is a more advanced topic and
hasn't to
be near 'Functions, part I'.

Done. Much more readable that way.

Mentioning now @safe, @system and @trusted.

Fixed.

Thought so too when initially writing the subsection.. I'll have
another good night's sleep to decide whether I'll actually move

I changed the name. Better fits the topic.

I followed your suggestion and rewrote the paragraph to include
bullet points. Also I added a line on asynchronous I/O and a
reference to the following page which explains in more detail.
