No, absolutely not. But no one has been willing to do it yet. Martin
Nowak seems to be closest to have something:

I have tried myself a couple of times but there has always been some
issue with the compiler that needs to be fixed or implemented. I have
never been able to figure out how to do that. For example, on Mac OS X
where DMD implements its own TLS the compiler will most likely need to
change somewhat.

In the above code we need to have access to which image that address (p)
to the belongs to.
For the Go folks, it is all about issues with garbage collection and
thread management, they need to perform contortions to deal with C and C
++ codes. I recollect it is to do with the way Go handles execution
stacks.
I see.
