One issue brought up is that of D "requiring" the use of a GC.
What would it take to prove that wrong by making a full blown standard 
lib that doesn't use a GC, and in fact doesn't have a GC?

It would be painful to work with but no more so than in C++. OTOH with 
scope() and such, it might be easy.

Anyway, just a thought.
