Yah, I realized I forgot to mention this: if we play our cards right, a 
lot of code will build in both approaches to memory management by just 
flipping a switch. In particular, the switch can be defaulted to 
something else.

I was thinking of leaving it to the user:

module A;
immutable myMMP = rc;

void main() {
     auto p1 = setExtension!myMMP("hello", ".txt");
}
