Honest question: How can you have a weak pointer in a language that is garbage collected?
I beleive the OP means something like pythons weakref (http://docs.python.org/2/library/weakref.html) that is qoute:
A weak reference to an object is not enough to keep the object alive: when the only remaining references to a referent are weak references, garbage collection is free to destroy the referent and reuse its memory for something else.
I would like to have no how to do something like this in D aswell as it could be handy.
