No; that particular solution might never be implemented at all. 
Getting safe reference counting working well in D (*somehow*) is 
a high priority, though.

Andrei Alexandrescu is giving the opening keynote for DConf 2016 
tomorrow:

 From the abstract, it sounds like he will be discussing the 
reference counting problem again.

Jeremy DeHaan just started a Google Summer of Code project to 
make D's GC precise - or at least much *more* precise than it is 
now:

If he is able to meet his proposed schedule, I expect there will 
be a D release with a much less leaky GC in 6 months to a year.
