Having basic building blocks like Fiber, Thread, Mutex, etc. 
implemented as class objects complicate things further..

There is also no tool (that I know of) to help analyze memory 
leaks of the GC memory.
Lately, I've spent almost a manweek trying to find the cause of 
the leak in a large codebase using vibe-d in a long-running 
service that just kept growing on memory. Not fun at all. While I 
could be using memory sanitizer tools with malloc managed memory 
just fine ;-)
