This problem was underlined during this thread far before the 
merging of the @nogc implementation. Why have Walter & Andrei 
ignored the problem? What's the point of creating a DIP if you 
ignore the problems found in its discussion? What's the point of 
338 comment posts if Walter goes on anyway with the original 
idea? There are some problems in the D development method that 
must be addressed.
