Allow me to (possibly) clarify.

What Andrei is saying is that you should be able to use D and phobos 
*without* the GC, not that we should remove the GC.

e.g. what Walter was talking about at dconf2015 that instead of 
converting an integer to a GC-allocated string, you return a range that 
does the same thing but doesn't allocate.
