Nice, that reminds me that I still want to polish my implementation of a
lock free doubly-linked list in D.
It would be great to collect these efforts in a library.
I remember the request of Adam Wilson for a
System.Collections.Concurrent in D.
I put my stuff on github https://github.com/dawgfoto/lock-free.
The doubly-linked list is based on this paper. IIRC the paper had a bug.

Recently I also found a C++ implementation. It's much simpler in D due
to the GC.
