Someone brought up a problem I had thought about a few days ago.
I quote (emphasis by me):

> However, I am not much of a fan of D. I prefer c++ more because it
doesn't even try and memory manage, whereas in D it is optional. *I do
not like this because you end up using libraries which use the GC* and I
think that ruins a sort of elegance you get from select right kind of
smart pointer for as specific usage.

Given that D boasts that you can choose to *not* use the GC, shouldn't
Phobos strive to resort to manual memory management ?

I supposed this has already been discussed, but just in case I missed
the discussion, could someone give a link to it ?
