No, I was referring to just implementing ARC like it's done in Objective-C.
I honestly don't think it can work much differently. You call retain
and release at the right places. Extending it to other D types is just
a matter of calling a different functions depending on the type.
Objective-C has a couple of special cases for pointers to autoreleased
objects, but that's just a couple more rules to add, and those should
be kept specific to Objective-C types.
Weak pointers are a more difficult topic, but a separate one I'd say.
