You can also do:

GC.disable();

But giving up the GC means giving up some features, like array
concatenation and associative, not because they wouldn't work, but
because they would leak memory and there would be no way to free the
garbage that they create.

Long story short - why use D if you aren't going to be able to take
advantage of the very things that make it cool?
