What would be the best way to manage different threads (spawned via std.concurrency), e.g. to tell them to stop at once, once a new command comes in? A thread pool? How would that look like in D? I feel my knowledge of D threads is still a bit limited.
`std.parallelism` includes a TaskPool class [1] and a taskPool property [2], but they spawn their own threads.
I'm not sure why you need a thread pool to tell std.concurrency threads to stop; why not send a stop message to each of them?
