Here we talk about "Object" which - I fail to understand the 
surprise - it is about OOP.

More than that, since it is a tight dependency between objects 
and the garbage collector, what improvement will render a @nogc 
thrown here and there? Currently there is little support în the 
language for using objects outside gc, I really don't understand 
why limit the overrides to patterns that will be difficult to 
satisfy. In my opinion the only qualifier that must be put to 
these basic functions is @safe. Hashing can be a costly operation 
(think at files or streams), const will prevent any caching. 
Comparing strings for example can discover invalid unicode 
characters, why nothrow? Comparing timestamps may need reading 
the current time zone, why pure?
