auto GC_malloc(size_t s) nothrow { void *p; try p = GC.malloc(s); catch {} return p; }

Which isn't ideal, but probably good enough - it's not like OOM will happen
often enough that the exception overhead matters.
The various implicit allocations will be more problematic, once GC.malloc
starts to fail.
