As for delete and clear, the deprecation/transition is still in

So what are we going to use instead? I have uses for delete.
clear is meant to be a safe version of delete.
Yeah I don't care about safe. Safe D can never happen at all for all I care.
If clear doesn't return the memory to the free list it's fecking useless
to me; I have a need for deterministic memory allocation.
If new D is going to require a GC it's no longer a systems programming
language and it's no longer either interesting or an appropriate
replacement for C++.
