Yes, just use emplace() insead of placement new.

GC-less allocations however is up to you, either malloc/free, 
std.experimental.allocator or any other way. You can make your 
own smart pointer struct to handle this automatically, or better 
use community packages such as 'automem'.

As for the message it is possible that this part of the reference 
compiler was already passed deprecation period and should be 
removed but was completely forgotten.
