Ok, let's get out of this stupid troll and have some actual
answers

Hello,
I've been busy with other things for about a year and would
like to ask some questions to catch up with latest
language/library additions in D. Looking through the change
logs simply appeared to be a bit tedious. My questions might
look a bit like asking pain point questions on purpose, but
it's really only about catching up with the status on some
issues:
* There was a problem with the GC leaking memory in some
situations. Is this still the case?
As far as I know, this is not an issue on 64bits. On 32 bits,
nothing fundamental changed, but the compiler got a bit smarter
about alocating with the no scan flag, so that's better.
* There was some talk about changing the standard library in a
way that it can be used with the GC and without. My question is
what the current status is concerning this topic.
Most of phobos is usable without a GC now, and it is getting
better with every releases.
* RefCounted only used to work with structs. It would be useful
if it worked with classes as well. Is it being considered to
work on this?
I don't know for that one, but if that doesn't work with classes,
this is indeed a problem worth solving.
