All this is more realistically achieved with a minimal custom 
druntime, which betterC forbids!

Of course, ideally, the standard runtime would be a bit more 
modular and stuff you don't need easy to drop. But failing that, 
the next best thing is a custom runtime.

betterC is just marketing nonsense (aside from MAYBE being a 
common baseline for runtime-agnostic libraries) without much 
practical benefit.
