Interfaces are expensive. I think it could be in the vtable. It
should also support inheritance.
One should be able to inherit a superclass which has a finalizer
that supports GC and then make a RAII subclass from it.
There is also a need to annotate pointers which are known to not
point to GC memory, maybe @nogc could be reused for that. Then
you would only be allowed to read @nogc pointers within a
finalizer.
