Wrong tool for the job.
You want message passing not sockets to communicate between
threads in this case.
You're wanting the functions receive and send relating to:

Sure -- I understand the concurrency primitives, but what I was
trying to achieve was to have a single foreground loop that
could select on a network socket while also watching for a
keypress (and in C socketpair is one way you would achieve this
using one thread to listen for keypresses -- see
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11461106/socketpair-in-c-unix). How do you suggest I achieve this in D?
OK; one way I realized was to put the network socket select in
one thread and the watching for keypress in another thread and
then use the concurrency primitives to message pass events to the
main thread -- may be a little expensive, but it probably will
achieve the effect I desire.
