I would argue that GC is at its core _only_ a memory management strategy. It just so happens that the one in D's runtime also comes with an allocator, with which it is tightly integrated. In theory, a GC can work with any (and multiple) allocators, and you could of course also call GC.free() manually, because, as you say, management and allocation are entirely distinct topics.
I'm not very sure. A GC might need to interoperate closely with the allocator. -- Andrei
