D isn't tripping you here, rather the other languages sweep the 
dust under the rug. For instance, if you implement a library in 
Java, you're automatically failing to support GC-less 
programming. You don't have to support `@nogc`/`-betterC` 
scenarios in D either (and probably are best off not supporting 
them in most cases, at least for initial versions), it's just 
that the language gives you the choice.
