With D2 you can drop in a different allocator to be used by the runtime
-- there's an example implementation that simply calls malloc/free, for
example. You'll leak memory if you perform string concatenation or use
the AA, but otherwise everything works fine.
You forgot the array literals (which almost look like harmless,
non-allocating array initializers), and the full closure delegates,
where the compiler will randomly choose to allocate or not to allocate
memory ("randomly" from the programmer's point of view). And of course
most library functions.
