I don't think you and I mean the same things ;) That's why I put 
"framework" in quotes. It was the most suitable word that came to 
mind - I basically meant "standard library and build system for 
your program". My goal is definitely not to replace one 
kitchen-sink library with another.

"Normal D code" involves plenty of explicit and implicit 
allocations. The practical and aesthetic considerations of 
hundreds of KB of useless baggage remain.
