The more I think about it the more I dislike the whole idea of 
-fno-rtti.  All I've ever wanted from the D compiler is to not 
put code in my binary that has not chance of ever being used.  
Or, to generate it in a way that can be garbage collected by the 
linker.

If that dream came true, I could avoid RTTI by simply avoiding 
any feature that needed it (REALLY needed it!) and -fno-rtti 
would be of no value, except to enforce policy.
