You're _really_ not supposed to be doing that. If you're dealing with GC 
allocated memory, then it's the GC that should be freeing it, not you. It's 
unsafe for you to be doing it, and it's just asking for bugs. If you want to 
be manually managing memory, you should be using malloc and free (which 
admittedly is a bit of pain with objects right now - custom allocators should 
fix that once we get them).

But if you absolutely insist on trying to manage GC memory manually, then use 
the stuff in core.memory:

But again, that's really only for when you _really_ need it. If you're doing 
much with it, then it's just about a guarantee that you're not using D as it's 
intended to be used. You're trying to program in C++ with D, which is just 
going to cause you trouble.
