--- Comment #1 from Andrei Alexandrescu <andrei at erdani.com> ---
This seems like a tall order. It's essentially pushing a specific management
need on to the GC, complicating everyone's life in the process.

If an application needs to preallocate, there's an API for that already - it's
called GC.allocate() :o). Then the application needs to do its own bookkeeping.
