Yes, I do agree, that is not exclusive. I only said that IMHO it 
would be very useful to have a clear "mechanism" (pragma, 
compiler flags...) to generate code close to what can be done 
with C. The goal being to have appealing (= fast & low memory 
footprint) libraries to attract people. That said, D with all its 
features GC, ... is great, but maybe that is not the feature that 
catches potential user attention the most.
