I need to pass around some objects(specifically int[]) that may

Since many objects may contain a ptr to the array, what would
be the best way to deal with deallocating them? I could wrap
the array in a collection an use ARC but is there a better way?
Is there something in std.allocators that can help?
(Should be obvious that I'm trying to avoid the GC)
Why you do not use one of this way:
- const ref int[]… into function parameter
- using shared/synchronized and ref to array
