"@usegc" will be major PITA. for example any function that does string
concatenation or format() will need this annotation. i see GC as
intergal and widely-used part of language, so "@nogc" is ok.

what we need though is "@gc" to allow things like this:

  @nogc:
    void foo () { ... some no-gc code ... }
    void bar () @gc { ... some gc code ... }

to be able to mark the whole part of the code as @nogc but still allow
to write one or two @gc functions by the way.

ah, and the same for 'final'.

sure one can just move necessary definitions to top of the file (i.e.
they will appear before "@nogc:"), but this will hurt code readability.
