Hi Stefanos, good project :)

Here's something to consider if you're replacing malloc() et al: 
it's popular (especially with large server deployments) to tune 
application memory allocation performance by replacing libc 
malloc() with alternatives such as tcmalloc and jemalloc.  That 
works because they use the same libc malloc() API but with a 
different implementation, injected at link or load time (using 
LD_PRELOAD or something).

It would be great if D code can still take advantage of 
alternative allocators developed by third-parties who may or may 
not be writing for D.
