I really would love to have that too. The problem with this
still would be exceptions because D throws by reference and not
by value like C++. To make this work there would be the need to
add a special Exception allocator and make the compiler emit
delete calls in case the exception is caught and not rethrown
or something similar.

perhaps a @nogc attribute that forbade everything *except*
exceptions to use the GC would be still useful. After all,
exceptions probably aren't going to be used in the normal
execution path of high performance code.
