           Summary: std.mmfile should only return a shared!T object
           Product: D

          Hardware: All

std.mmfile currently returns a class-type object which has no deterministic
destruction guarantees, it seems much more appropriate for a resource to be
reference counted.


AFAICT it's actually possible to "write" something to an mmfile then exit a
program without anything being written due to it never being synced to disk
because there's no guarantee that a destructor will run.
