That, and before you can design the containers you need a concrete
allocator interface design. Actually, this is likely the same blocker for
GC-free D as well.
D should have a set of global allocator hooks. If it did, you could
easily catch unexpected allocations in tight loops and realtime code. If
it did, GC-free D would be trivial - just replace the default GC based
allocator with a malloc/free one, or any other scheme you like.
The hooks would ideally pass __FILE__ and __LINE__ information down from
the call site in debug mode, etc.
