UDA and trait for non-GC managed pointers

Is there a way to check if a pointer is supposed to point to
non-GC allocated memory? I presume not. This is needed to prevent
unnecessary calls to `GC.addRange` in containers with elements of
a type that in turn is a container-like struct with non-GC
allocated memory.
If not, maybe we could tag those non-GC-mangaged pointers with a
UDA, preferrably `@nogc`, and then build a trait, say,
`hasGCIndirections` that doesn't include @nogc-pointers.
What do you think?
