1. As far as I understand allocation and memory management of

*fix* to standart library. But that allocation and MM happening
via GC is not *fault* of standart library but is predefined
behaviour of D lang itself and it's runtime. The standard
library
becomes a `hostage` of runtime library in this situation. Do you
really sure that we should "fix" standart library in that way?
For me it looks like implementing struts for standard lib (which
is not broken yet ;) ) in order to compensate behaviour of
runtime lib.
This really hits the nail on the head, and I think your other
comments and questions are also quite insightful.
IMO the proposal that started this thread, @nogc, and -vgc are
all beating around the bush rather than addressing the
fundamental problem.
