OK, I finally get what you are saying.
You need to create a mailbox and a unique tid for every Manager (and probably 
would have to change Manager into a class). Unfortunately this won't work out of 
the box, as for example receiveOnly and friends use only the default mailbox of 
the current thread.

    struct Manager
    {
        Tid tid;
        MessageBox mbox;
        this(string s)
        {
            this.mbox = new MessageBox
            tid = Tid(new Mailbox);
            spawn(&worker, s, tid);
        }
        string get()
        {
            // you'd have to rewrite receive to use custom mbox
            return tid.myReceiveOnly!string();
        }
    }
