The myths about D's GC never seem to die.

D's GC is NEVER, EVER run unless you allocate with the GC. You don't need @nogc 
to disable the GC. Just don't use it. Performance critical code (well-written 
code) does not allocate within the critical sections anyway, so the GC will have 
ZERO effect on it.
