Of Course, I never said stop the world only affected certain 
parts of the program. ? Having a nogc allows one to use only 
those functions and disable the gc and not worry about running 
out of memory.

e.g., import @nogc std.string; only imports nogc functions. Can 
disable the gc, use reference counting and write a RT app. (it 
would be better to specify the module as @nogc then all imports 
can only import @nogc functions)
