This prevents the trait `mustAddGCRangeOfStructOrUnion` [1] from detecting when a container with manual memory management doesn't have to be scanned by the GC as in, for instance,

        @disable this(this); // disable S postlib
        @NoGc int* _ptr;
    }
static assert(!mustAddGCRangeOfStructOrUnion!S); // is false when postblit of `S` is disabled

Can we statically check if the postblit has been disabled via

@disable this(this);

?

If so, we can temporarily modify the trait to exclude the last `void*` member of the `S.tuple`. Given that it's always added as the last member.
