I'm not sure there's no solution, but there's definitely no EASY 
solution. And when I say solution, I don't mean a resolution of 
this specific issue. I mean to resolve the fundamental issue, 
which is being able to clean up memory in betterC or @nogc.

There was a discussion last year [1] about adding destructors. 
According to the spec, class destructors were deprecated in D2, 
though confusingly I can't write a void delete() {} function, 
only delete(void*) {}. The delete function (outside of a class) 
is deprecated in 2.079 though. I'd guess that if deterministic 
destructors are added to the language, then this() and this() 
@nogc inheritance becomes much less of an issue.
