there's:

but what if you want to simply yield all remaining time back to
the time scheduler?
Is there a D std.library accessible version of POSIX
sched_yield:
There's
https://dlang.org/phobos/core_thread_osthread.html#.Thread.yield
It seems I can (thanks to the amazing work of D community)
simply do:
```d
extern(C) int sched_yield(void); // #include <sched.h>
```
however, how does the linker know I need <sched.h> and not some
local library, or SDL library, or SDL2.0 library, etc.
Shouldn't I be specifying the library somewhere?
Linker doesn't need sched.h. Like H.S.Theoh said, it'll look for
that symbol in libraries you're linking against. sched_yield is
in libc, and by default you do link against that.
```
source/app.d(226,16): Error: cannot have parameter of type
`void`
```
Should that be corrected in the compiler? Shouldn't () and
(void) be interchangeable as long as you're not doing void*?
