It should be possible to takes this approach from Go and bring
it
to D. Just an idea ...
Is this different to task parallelism as implemented in
std.parallelism [0]?
The downside of D is that the rest of system is not integrated.
For example, if you do a blocking syscall then the threadpool
is not increased to compensate for the blocked thread.

Yes, right. This is the big difference between CSP-style channels
in Go compared to libdispatch in Apple's C/C++.
