Priority Messages and Thread Names

Explore the use of priority messages and thread naming in D's message passing concurrency model. Understand how prioritySend manages message handling order and how naming threads simplifies communication across multiple threads.

We'll cover the following...

- Priority messages
- Thread names

Priority messages

Messages can be sent with higher priority than regular messages by prioritySend(). These messages are handled before the other messages that are already in the mailbox:

prioritySend(ownerTid, ImportantMessage(100));
