TDPL doesn't prescribe one way or the other. What are some primitives in
core that are reasonably useful to client high-level code?

Andrei, do you have any input on this?

I think it was the suggestion that std.concurrency was to be the
only import necessary for all things related to concurrency.
core.thread was left out because spawn() was supposed to be used
instead. I'd be fine with making the imports private though.

I'd have to re-read the chapter to be sure though.
