Threads receive their own messages. If there is a specific receiver of a
message, then the child sends it to that receiver. As FG said, every
thread has a separate mailbox.
It is possible to introduce threads to each other by their thread ids,
which can be mapped to arbitrary names. (See register, locate, and
unregister in std.concurrency.)

My experiments have been documented in the following chapter:
http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/concurrency.html
The "Thread names" section in there has a simple example that involves a
third party introducing two threads to each other.
