A bite-sized GC-related improvement is the @nogc attribute I've 
been craving for for quite some time. See: 
https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5219

If I had money, I'd be putting it on this for sure. For system 
and game programmers it's a godsend, and it will put some C++ 
fanatics at ease with D's GC. With this feature I can protect the 
critical sections of my code with a firm guarantee that I won't 
see any unexpected activity from the GC.
