Why handle it at runtime and not at compile time?
One is I can implement a runtime check pretty easily so it'd just
be the first step because it would go quickly.
The other reason though would be D doesn't really have an
attributed section. You can't do:
void foo() {
// stuff
@nogc {
// your performance sensitive loop code
}
}
But on the function level, that could be done at compile time if
implemented.
