Thats exactly what I want to cause with this post. More effort should be 
put into the parts of D that currently allocate, but absolutley don't 
have to. Also the statement "You can use D without a GC" is not quite as 
easy as the homepage makes it sound.

My favorite hidden allocation so far is:

class A {}
class B : A{}

A a = new A();
B b = new B();

if(a == b) //this will allocate
{
}

Kind Regards
