Thanks for the link! Important quote, take notice Boehm 
GC-defenders:

**«C is hostile to automatic garbage collection.»**

HOSTILE! Nothing less. And I agree.

Another important quote:

*«As should be clear from the history above, C evolved from 
typeless languages. It did not suddenly appear to its earliest 
users and developers as an entirely new language with its own 
rules; instead we continually had to adapt existing programs as 
the language developed, and make allowance for an existing body 
of code.»*

So, we are stuck with the flaws introduced by backwards 
compatibility requirements of the 1970s in 2021. \*cheers\*

D should not be so concerned with breakage, just do D3 and get it 
right.
