Using new implies that the allocated memory will be managed by the GC. You
shouldn't need to delete any pointers.

Note, however, that the availability of GC does not exclude manual memory
management. Especially when you use structs, which are preferably allocated on the
stack. D supports RAII as well - with struct.

If you want to include heap management in the resources allocation of BITMAP, it
is advisable to use C-style malloc() and free() in the constructor and destructor.
