Destructors can't allocate if running inside the GC. This makes them 
perfect candidates for @nogc.

So even if you use classes, and allocate them on the heap, running the 
destructors really should be tagged as @nogc (and who are we to say why 
anyone should or shouldn't be using the GC in any specific spot?)
