`new SomeClass` has never implied GC allocation only - see 
https://dlang.org/spec/class.html#allocators, though I agree it 
looks kind of odd to add a special case. But it's hard to miss 
the benefits - all code that was not @nogc only because of 
allocating new exceptions and throwing them, becomes @nogc for 
free. And this is huge - just grep for uses of enforce in Phobos 
and many other prominent projects.
