Aside from that, naming it std.experimental.nogc is a bad idea
because it'll
confuse newcomers, thinking it's somehow related to @nogc...
Which it is, but
we don't want people importing std.experimental.nogc because they
think they
need to do that to use @nogc.
Ideas:
std.experimental.gcless (still negative)
std.experimental.gcfree
std.experimental.realtime
std.experimental.pausefree
std.experimental.manualheap
std.experimental.manualmem
