Furthermore, more often than not allocations in D on the heap contain no pointers/references at all (>60% of all allocated memory in nearly every D program I tested that wasn't optimized to not use the GC contained no pointers/references.) and AFAIK the current GC makes no use of this fact.
Of course it does: memory allocated for data without pointers is not scanned (see core.memory.BlkAttr.NO_SCAN). It has been this way for ages.
