At the bottom of the wiki page there is an innocent question regarding TLS which is quite devastating. A worker thread pool system would not support affinity between threads and callback context. Unfortunately, D relies on Thread Local Storage for semi global data. This would be error prone. I saw such error case with people using TLS with Corba.
It is possible to set thread CPU affinity. Usage of TLS is also crucial in high performance fiber-based async systems (as soon as you have multiple threads) - for example, to implement lock-free TLS cache for all fibers running on that worker thread.
