Initialize class at given location

[tzsz]

Hello,
I'd like to ask if there is any way of creating a class instance 
at a location given by a pointer.
In C++ this is usually done using new(pointer) MyClass(); and I 
saw a post made by Walter Bright that suggested adding this to D. 
The code from that post did not compile on my machine tho. And 
the post was a few years old, so I don't know what the current 
state regarding this feature is. I really tried finding something 
via Google but I was unsuccessful.

The reason for this is that I am looking for a way to use classes 
with all their nice features but without the GC. Therefore I'd be 
doing all the (de)allocations on my own. For this, I am currently 
using malloc and free from core.stdc.

Kind regards
