Heap allocation in D is up to the user. Can you imagine something 
like http://sourceforge.net/projects/fastmm/ in D ? It's a (sorry 
for being an arsh) fuckin good memory manager...It's for user or 
RT allocations, it detects leaks, etc...It should be a source of 
inspiration for the top-notch D guys...
