exactly. that's what i did in my sound engine, and it works
like a charm: i can enjoy hiccup-less ogg replaying on the
background while the main code enjoys GC.
This should be marketed as a major feature of D: the language
with a GC for those situations where you want it, and manual
memory management for those cases where you do not want a GC.
Having the GC for the UI is very pleasant, while @nogc
time-critical code won't use it.
It think the problem is that the message then become more
complicated.
GC is easily victim of the "holier-than-thou" fallacy, because
evidently less GC is supposed to translate into faster programs.
Er... right?
