We need a precise GC to get struct dtors to work, the

Since I expect/fear that such a implementation is not done in
the next 12 months: what would be the alternative?
Examine the GC code, and figure out a way to hook the
finalizer. Look for FINALIZE.
Another crude but effective option would be to wrap the struct
in a class. May not actually be that bad, depending on the size
of the struct (blocks come in chunks of 16, 32, 64, etc.).

I tried to enable the printf's in rt/lifetime.d (e.g.:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/e47a00bff935c3f079bb567a6ec97663ba384487/src/rt/lifetime.d#L1125)
to see what happens if I/the GC delete an array. But I see no
output, no matter what I try to allocate/deallocate.
