The problem with this DIP is that it's just a small part of some 
bigger thing, and it looks like no one understands this bigger 
thing except maybe Walter. It also seems that some people don't 
believe that Walter actually knows what the end result will be. 
Maybe he's just making it up as he goes along?
Anyway, all of this confirms my opinion - D is a language 
supposed to work with GC, and all these contortions are just 
trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
Just use Rust instead.
