The current bug that I like to focus on is the following:
"Not safe for multiple threads operating on the same signals
or slots. "
However boost.signals2 is thread safe, so I was wondering what
is currently preventing std.signals from being thread safe?
How hard is it currently?
I don't really know, but there are some alternatives on dub
that try to improve on std.signals, for example
https://code.dlang.org/packages/phobosx. Not sure thread safety
is part of the efforts.

The recent updated is from 2015. That's not what I consider to be
ideal.
Regardless if the bug were to be simply fixed by using mutex then
it would have it done so already. This implies that it's more
difficult then it seems which is why I am asking how hard
currently.
