Fiber Concurrency Showcase

I would like to experiment with Fibers/Coroutines in D/vibe.d. I'm missing a code example in std.concurrency that highlights an example of using Fibers for massive concurrency. Could anybody show me such a code example or link to a more descriptive tutorial?

Phobos request: function to get the available disk space

Hope I can motivated someone to work on adding a function to Phobos that returns the available disk space (on a given path): https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16487 (I needed this for file cache management in LDC, and was surprised I had to write my own.) I think it'd be a valuable

Re: iPhone vs Android

I think the conclusions about iOS vs. Android OS-level memory collection are not applicable to D GC discussion. An OS collects all the memory pages allocated for a process upon exit - no heap scan, no RC. It more resembles a one huge free() call. The discussion is mainly about eager vs.
