RFC: moving forward with @nogc Phobos

[Dicebot via Digitalmars-d]

Any assumption that library code can go away with some set of 
pre-defined allocation strategies is crap. This whole discussion 
was about how important it is to move allocation decisions to 
user code (ranges are just one tool to achieve that, Don has been 
presenting examples of how we do that with plain arrays in DConf 
2014 talk).

In that regard allocators + ranges are still the way to go in my 
opinion. Yes, sometimes those result in very hard to use API - 
providing GC-heavy but friendly alternatives for those shouldn't 
do any harm. But in general full decoupling of algorithms from 
allocations is necessary. If that makes D poor cousin of C++ we 
may have a learn few tricks from C++.
