Actually, if you want ARC to be compatible with Objective-C, someone 
familiar with Objective-C memory management has to design and implement 
the thing. Anything designed to work for Objective-C can easily be 
retrofitted to work with other D types, but the reverse is not true. So 
I'd tend to say it'd be better to implement ARC as part of the 
D/Objective-C project first, otherwise you're trying to solve too many 
problems at the same time and it becomes a mess.
