Standard Library (Phobos) Garbage Collection

[crudbug]

Hi All,

First off.. I am not against garbage collection :)

With mobile platforms becoming more prevalent. The battery power 
is the most essential asset that we need to use frugally. IOS 
shines in this category and Android's VM approach does not give 
us that much juice.

D is a great step towards having both, productivity and 
performance for our dinner. I feel a standard library which does 
not use GC by default, provides an option of managing the code 
manually (good for mobile development). By providing this option, 
programmers can use std library always and the option of going 
manual or GC totally depends upon them.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.
