Two parties are required for communication.

It was Kagamin who said:

This is in reference to your earlier:

Your answer to Kagamin was basically, "yes it does". You implied that 
you want to be able to enforce custom coding standards similar to @nogc 
and @safe, and then you said that the C++ proposal allows it. My 
question was "why?". It would have been perfectly fine at that point for 
you to clarify that that is not in fact what you meant, so next time 
maybe just do that. :)

There is nothing to understand. A GC does not need to be built-in for 
someone to want to control its usage with an attribute.
