Explicit call to init() / terminate() are so C :/
It is much better than C because of `scope(exit) terminate()`
though :)
Also you can use struct destructors same as in C++
Worst part is there is no even standard shared/weak pointer
provided.
There is http://dlang.org/phobos/std_typecons.html#.RefCounted
which helps in some cases.
I must say I am kindof disappointed by all this. I realize that
it is not D's fault but still, it is suppose to be "better
C++", and while I do see that wrt to templates / TMP, my
favourite feature of C++ are d-tors...
It is not supposed to be "better C++", not anymore at least.
Something that dissapoints lot of people and there has been a lot
of pushing in this direction lately but historically this domain
was under-developed.
