I'm not sure about why RAII is an issue, but I fully agree with 
your stance about a simpler allocator, and one we can actually 
build upon.

Great many C libraries work with just 3 preprocessor macros for 
malloc, free, realloc, something like that. A standard struct 
with 3 pointers in druntime would be great!

We just can't build upon std.experimental.allocator if it doesn't 
work in betterC and WebASM.

And it should be clear by now that D programmers want 
dependencies with fewer files, fewer concepts, fewer new names, 
(and if I may less templatitis) else they won't build upon it.
