"Our products now run with the D language runtime disabled. This 
post is both a post-mortem and tutorial on how to live without 
the D runtime. "

This only covers the middle road where you link with the runtime 
and not initialize it.

Basically describes the process of leaving the D runtime disabled 
for products that used to rely on it. I present a simple way to 
have MM exceptions in @nogc (an idea originally from Adam D Ruppe 
I think).

It wasn't very hard just took lots of grunt work. What striked me 
most during the process was the cascade of things that couldn't 
be "nothrow @nogc" because Object.~this isn't. So the workaround 
is rather ugly, and you don't get to reuse things using the 
regular .destroy (like Unique, scoped!, etc.)
