Why don't we all focus our efforts on upgrading the current GC
to a state-of-the GC making use of D's strongly typed memory
model before discussing these things?
GC improvements are critical, but...
"As discussed, having exception objects being GC-allocated is
clearly a
large liability that we need to address. They prevent otherwise
careful
functions from being @nogc so they affect even apps that
otherwise would
be okay with a little litter here and there."
No improvements to the GC can fix this. @nogc needs to be usable,
whether you are a GC fan or not.
