For the record, some of the features described in this chapter are missing from
DMD 2.047.  They should all be present in the next release.

Thank you very much for sharing.

Very timely too: There has been some conversations on the topic of 
threading on the Turkish forum just past week, where we talked about how 
great the message passing solution is.

I've been drooling over the simplicity of the receive function interface 
as well. Matching messages to delegates by parameter lists... D.elighful 
indeed... :)

Thanks to Sean Kelly for this module! :)

Wonderful Andrei.

Great information and a fine gift.  Must buy book.  

BTW: While you were writing that chapter I was busy writing a multi-core
implementation of my Dendrite flow-based programming system for D/Tango which
is based on a high-performance, lock-free message passing design.  In fact, I'm
still writing it :-)  Initial tests indicate core-to-core (inter-thread)
message passing is running at around 20 million messages / second, lock-free
with no thread de-scheduling.  That's probably best case, YMMV etc.  Lock-free
FIFO is based on an optimized, batching, cache-coherent algorithm invented by
someone for content sniffing pipelines.

I guess it's like anything on the Internet.  If it's worth doing, at least
three people are thinking about it and 2 people are doing it.
