Is it possible to deinitialize the class without calling the gc?

D is not capable of giving you the list of classes that are derived from a
particular class. Stuff like separate compilation makes that not work.

It can tell you what the base classes are for a particular class, which is
what I would think you would need for stuff related the attributes that a
destructor/finalizer arguably should have (e.g. if D actually had attribute
inheritance for destructors), but it can't give you a list of classes
derived from a particular class. If you need that for some reason, then
you're out of luck.
