Excellent idea. All the cries (including mine) for a non-GC D

No they wouldn't. This is not what I'm asking for in any of my
posts.
This is almost exclusively useful in tiny-embedded environments
(ie,
microcontrollers).
Instead, we could focus on gradually bringing
all the remaining features of D-Full into D-Core over the next
years. Walter would have to judge on that, but to an outsider
it
looks doable without too much resources.
And, as I firmly believe, this could make the difference
between
D getting accepted by the C++ crowd on one side and D
disappearing from the scene as just another C# / Java clone
(untrue, but I talk about public perception).
I don't actually think this is what the 'no GC' crowd want. C++
programmers
will not be satisfied with this. They'll see it as a step
backwards towards
C, not forwards.
Seconded!
