Blueprint changed by Rick Stovall:

Whiteboard changed:
- Okay... so after several iterations, I've realized my C++ experience has
- lead me down a rabbit hole for thread pool design in D. I attempted to
- fit it all in a "template" class (like C++ ricklib), but you can not
- spawn class methods as threads without overriding D's thread isolation
- guarantees, which seems a pointless risk.
- 
- Instead, I'll define a parameterized function (a function template in
- C++ terms) which starts the thread and registers it with with a global
- thread pool registry. In this way other threads can find it by name when
- they need to, and the registry class can provide a single point suitable
- high level interface methods (submit(work), get(status), set(limits),
- etc.). Thanks to the lockless nature of D's standard concurrency lib,
- this should not be a bottleneck. I'll try to have the new design
- complete by tonight's meeting.
+ I have an abstract queue which is much simpler, compiles and looks
+ logically sound. Next step is wrap a test around it to prove the point.
