How much of Phobos is betterC compatible?

I encountered the same issues with GC couple of years ago and 
abandoned our plans to migrate from C++ to D for one of our core 
products. (I'm not encouraging anyone to do the same, do your own 
analysis and take the decision.)

To see recent posts about chasing Rust with @live with all these 
existing baggage... Hmm.. Don't know what to say... This might 
excite a PL theorist/researcher, but not a programmer who can't 
get his app to work in the most basic form...

Walter, memory efficiency first please, arcane safety later.
