The three policies are:
(a) gc is the classic garbage-collected style of management;
(b) rc is a reference-counted style still backed by the GC, i.e. the GC
will still be able to pick up cycles and other kinds of leaks.
(c) mrc is a reference-counted style backed by malloc.
(It should be possible to collapse rc and mrc together and make the
distinction dynamically, at runtime. I'm distinguishing them statically
here for expository purposes.)
...
Personally, I would go just for (b) with compiler support for
increment/decrement removal, as I think it will be too complex having to
support everything and this will complicate all libraries.
Anyway, that was just my 0.02€. Stepping out the thread as I just toy
around with D and cannot add much more to the discussion.
