The DIP should make clear that this is wanted for a container library.
Additionally, I miss how this DIP fits in the overall plan of getting
rid of the GC. As long as there isn't a written masterplan how to
combine those ideas I consider this DIP to be incomplete.
I think this change is not worth it. I believe there is an inherent
trade-off for every programming language between usability and
theoretically correctness. And IMO this DIP is pushing D way to far in
the direction of theoretically correctness. There are far more important
things for the adoption of D, like making the frontend a library,
shipping with multiple backends.
I strongly disagree with this.
If you need proof of where it can be used checkout my managed[0] memory
concept.
