I know very little about Swift.
But I did not say it was "not feasible". I said pervasive ARC in D simply would
not deliver the results you wanted. I doubt it delivers them in Swift, either,
though of course I don't have experience with Swift.
I.e. pervasive ARC in D would not deliver performance unless memory safety was
discarded.
