This year's WWDC 2021 session on ARC optimization was focused on 
handling lifetime bugs caused by misuse of weak and owned 
references, alongside compiler optimizations that ellide 
retain/release calls.

Maybe consider if this is the future the anti-GC folks want to 
have in D.

It is nice to throw ARC around when unaware of the details how it 
actually works, possible bugs or crashes.
