Or probably druntime. This rise again and again - until standard 
global allocators are not here it is all a premature and useless 
optimization. It makes no sense to try to workaround a 
fundamental issue. That will be a lot of effort for no real gain.

Allocators are a blocker for almost any memory-related issue in 
both druntime and phobos.
