I beleive the OP means something like pythons weakref
(http://docs.python.org/2/library/weakref.html) that is qoute:
A weak reference to an object is not enough to keep the object
alive: when the only remaining references to a referent are weak
references, garbage collection is free to destroy the referent
and reuse its memory for something else.
I would like to have no how to do something like this in D aswell
as it could be handy.
