In the document it is said:

I think this should be extended to clarify how conversion to 
`@nogc` will be tackled. IMHO adding proper stable `@nogc` 
allocators to the stdlib is more important.

When that's done, make sure we can set the allocator for stdlib 
types and add `@nogc` overloads that take an allocator parameter 
for non-`@nogc` functions.

We aren't doing no-heap programming after all. If we have a 
stable allocator interface, replacing GC calls with allocator 
calls in Phobos shouldn't be too hard.
