===========
Tag-based asynchronous messaging framework
## Usage
The entry point is via the `Manager` type, so first create an instance as follows (passing the endpoint `Socket` in as `socket` in this example):
```d
Manager manager = new Manager(socket);
```
Now the event loop would have started, now we are ready to send out some tagged messages and blocking receive for them!
Let's send out two messages with tags `1` and `2`:
```d
manager.sendMessage(1, [1,2,3,4,5]);
manager.sendMessage(2, [6,7,8,9,0]);
```
Now we can start two seperate threads and wait on them both:
```d
byte[] receivedData = manager.receiveMessage(1);
```
```d
byte[] receivedData = manager.receiveMessage(2);
```
**TODO**
## Format
```
[4 bytes (size-2, little endian)][8 bytes - tag][(2-size) bytes - data]
```
