Ok apparently there's a global but private 'owner' Tid. The problem is this is
equal to Tid.init for the main thread since Tid is a struct. I don't think it's
wise to simply return:

/**
 * Return the Tid of the thread which
 * spawned the caller's thread.
 */
@property Tid ownerTid()
{
return owner;
}

As calling ownerTid.send() will segfault due to mbox being null. So what should
be done instead, maybe throw an exception in ownerTid() if mbox is null?

That wasn't worded properly. It's .init because it doesn't have a parent,
regardless of whether it's a struct or class.

I forgot I can also use spawn to send the Tid, e.g.:

void workThreadFoo(Tid mainThread)
{
}

spawn(workThreadFoo, thisTid);

It would still be nice to have a ownerTid property though, this is a feature
request. :)
