I think this is unavoidable if D wants to be a "real" systems language, 
because shared memory use is pretty common in such apps.  D has this now 
with custom new/delete methods, but if these are eliminated then there 
would have to be some kind of substitute.  They certainly wouldn't be 
commonly used, but this has to at least be possible.
