Maybe we can lift this restriction if we know that the

That'd be a pretty useless thread; how would it communicate
results back to the main thread (or wherever it should go)?
It could return something. `std.concurrency.Tid` would have to be
extended with a `join()` method that returns its result. Or we
could somehow allow sending and receiving data.
