Yeah I don't care about safe. Safe D can never happen at all for all I care.

If clear doesn't return the memory to the free list it's fecking useless 
to me; I have a need for deterministic memory allocation.

If new D is going to require a GC it's no longer a systems programming 
language and it's no longer either interesting or an appropriate 
replacement for C++.
