So you propose RC + global/thread local allocators as the solution for all memory related problems as 'memory management is not allocation'. And you claim that using output ranges / providing buffers / allocators is not an option because it only works in some special cases?
Correct. I assume you meant an irony/sarcasm somewhere :o).
What if I don't want automated memory _management_? What if I want a function to use a stack buffer? Or if I want to free manually? If I want std.string.toStringz to put the result into a temporary stack buffer your solution doesn't help at all. Passing an ouput range, allocator or buffer would all solve this.
Correct. The output of toStringz would be either a GC string or an RC string.
