I tend to mix references and managed pointer in the text, which 
is wrong. The reason I sometimes mention managed pointers as 
references is that Rust named references as their life time 
pointers. It should really be managed pointers or fat pointers.

References in D are similar to C++ and have nothing to do with 
memory management. Managed pointers in D requires an own type.
