I need a way to get the Tid of the thread that spawned the current thread.

I've had this kind of bug creep into my code:

__gshared Tid mainThread;
__gshared Tid workThread;

workThreadFoo()
{
   workThread.send("data");  // Bug: Meant to be mainThread.send
}

mainThreadFoo()
{
    mainThread = thisTid;
    workThread = spawn(&workThreadFoo);
}

This can be taken care of with this workaround:

workThreadFoo()
{
   Tid mainThread = receiveOnly!Tid();
   // workThread.send("data");  // Now this can't creep in

   mainThread.send("data");     // correct
}

mainThreadFoo()
{
    Tid workThread = spawn(&workThreadFoo);
    workThread.send(thisTid);
}

But it would be better if I didn't have to take this extra step and instead used:

workThreadFoo()
{
   Tid mainThread = thisTid.ownerTid;  // new read-only property
   mainThread.send("data");     // correct
   thisTid.ownerTid.send("data2");  // also correct
}

mainThreadFoo()
{
    Tid workThread = spawn(&workThreadFoo);
}

I forgot I can also use spawn to send the Tid, e.g.:

void workThreadFoo(Tid mainThread)
{
}

spawn(&workThreadFoo, thisTid);

It would still be nice to have a ownerTid property though, this is a feature request. :)

Ok apparently there's a global but private 'owner' Tid. The problem is this is equal to Tid.init for the main thread since Tid is a struct. I don't think it's wise to simply return:

/**
 * Return the Tid of the thread which
 * spawned the caller's thread.
 */
@property Tid ownerTid()
{
    return owner;
}

As calling ownerTid.send() will segfault due to mbox being null. So what should
be done instead, maybe throw an exception in ownerTid() if mbox is null?

That wasn't worded properly. It's .init because it doesn't have a parent, regardless of whether it's a struct or class.
