I'll add: Just check with valgrind programs made by people who 
think they manage memory better than a GC. There are several 
things people dont think of. To name two: copy construction, 
alignment when your work with value types. Your (not nominative, 
more generally) own memory management system is likely to be 
worse than D GC ;).
Invalid reads, invalid writes, double frees, etc. La fiesta.
