you still can do manual memory management with `malloc()` and friends. 
but you must be very cautious with dynamic arrays and slices. may be your 
best bet is to not use built-in dynamic arrays at all and write a 
replacement class with manual memory management. ah, and the same for AAs.

it's possible, if somewhat cumbersome. and you can use 'dmd -vgc' to 
check for hidden allocations. so it may be not as simple as adding some 
compiler switch, but still not that hard too.
