Suppose that I implement, in D, a framework creating Erlang-style processes

environment, with an appropriate error-handling framework that allows those
processes to be brought down and restarted without bringing down the entire
application).
Is there any reasonable scope for accessing Phobos directly from programs
written to operate within that runtime, or is it going to be necessary to wrap
all of Phobos in order to ensure that it's accessed in a safe way (e.g. to
ensure that the conditions required of in contracts are enforced before the call
gets to phobos, etc.)?
A start to this would be to ensure that the erlang-style processes only call
pure functions. Then I'd add pervasive use of immutable data structures. This
should help a lot.
