I agree. It's telling that nearly all real-world examples we've seen 
(sociomantic, remedy games, etc.) use D without GC or with specialized 
handling of GC.

I've had personal experience with "fixing" performance dramatically by 
removing or minimizing GC allocations. It is important to both get the 
GC operating more efficiently, and provide easier ways to avoid the GC 
(or better tutorials on how to do so).
