          Issue ID: 13262
           Summary: Cannot send certain shared data to another thread
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: DMD
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: andrei erdani.com

Consider:

import std.concurrency;

void fun(Tid tid, shared int[] a) {
  tid.send(a);
}

This doesn't compile due to an obscure memcpy type mismatch in std.variant. It
should be legal to send pretty much any shared data across threads.
