receiveTimeout

Receives a message from another thread and gives up if no match arrives within a specified duration.

Receive a message from another thread, or block until duration exceeds, if no messages of the specified types are available. This function works by pattern matching a message against a set of delegates and executing the first match found.

If a delegate that accepts a std.variant.Variant is included as the last argument, it will match any message that was not matched by an earlier delegate. If more than one argument is sent, the Variant will contain a std.typecons.Tuple of all values sent.
