It doesn't _have_ to be @nogc. The bindings are all allocator 
aware but the wrapper doesn't currently have a way to communicate 
that via the API. It's not a lot of work to add that though.

i.e. The pumbling uses allocators for everything but the 
porcelain doesn't have a place where you can specify which one 
you want.
