I wrote a tiny module trackallocs.d that inserts a GC proxy and 
outputs to log file (or stdout) all the allocations, gathering 
some stats.

You can turn tracking on and off in any place of your code.

Used it before 2.066 where @nogc appeared to check whether my 
code was allocation-free. Current version works in both 2.066 and 
earlier versions. Find it here:

Inside it uses one hack based on knowledge of D runtime 
internals, so in future versions of D runtime, if Proxy struct 
changes again, it may need to be changed as well.
