Mistake mistake mistake..... betterC != betterLiBC

It means better C

I wanted to target WASM, if your hooks call into libC, i can't 
target WASM..

I'm pretty sure i reported an issue about this

Nobody understand the implication when they do stuff with the 
compiler

Then we end up with GC everywhere and the only way to workaround 
things is to subscribe to -betterC

You keep tell us that the plan is "pay as you go", well, sir, 
that kind of issue goes against your plan, so again, what's the 
plan?



Dependency on libC just for memcpy.............

Then my project no longer compile, thanks a lot!

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/14910


That reminds me of a dependency on std.exception just to do: 
``return result.array``

https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/8723

Nobody care anymore.....

Then people wonder things are the way it is
