In the description for Fiber in std.thread is the following[1]:

executing."
How would this be accomplished and are there any code examples
available to learn from? I'm assuming this would require a
custom scheduler similar to the one in std.concurrency?[2]

There was a long discussion about this a few weeks ago, and
IIRC the outcome was that we shouldn't allow it, because it
breaks the type system.
Where is the discussion?
