Function std.concurrency.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 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 Tuple of all values
sent.

| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| duration | Duration, how long to wait. If duration is negative,

| ops | Variadic list of function pointers and delegates. Entries in this list must not occlude later entries. |
Returns
true if it received a message and false if it timed out waiting
for one.
Throws
OwnerTerminated when the sending thread was terminated.
