I am sad that no word on the Allocator API, moving forward i
personally think APIs that use memory should be required to ask

A default GCAllocator could be used if none provided, this

complain about the GC or their inability to integrate the APIs
in their game engine for example
It should not be resolved like this. Functions that does not
return memory should just be nogc.
Functions that return allocated memory that are nogc should use
RAII and prevent GC pointers from pointing to it. So you need a
new type system.
Or just overload on @system.
You also want to get rid of destructors on GC objects and replace
it with a finalizer that isnt sensitive to order.
