Therefore the 'could'. But if this would be implemented, I'm sure 
that this would give D good advantages to be a real opponent for 
C++.

We would have then the possibility to manage our memory by 
ourself. One of D's promises is, that the GC can be disabled. 
Yes, it can, but then we have many many things which do not work. 
For example built-in arrays. With the ability of allocators the 
promise could come true.
