Designing with the GC out of mind

I would like to remove the GC dependence on my own class objects
I am designing and at some point remove the GC completely if
possible(assuming at some point D itself will be GC agnostic).
1. Is there a way to determine what the GC is doing? I would like
to know just how much my projects are GC depending(both for D
internals and my code).
2. Have all classes implement an (almost final) interface to
allow for custom allocation schemes. I suppose I can modify the
sources, but is there an easier way? I don't want to have to
implement the interface for every class I create nor explicitly
specify the inheritance.
The interface here basically has a final New method and a virtual
ClassSize method which gets the size of the class. (which I think
is required over sizeof, classInstanceSize, etc... to prevent
slicing). The ClassSize, while being virtual, is basically the
same for every class(in fact it just returns a constant which is
determined at compile time... I don't want the user to have to
write the code for the class).
