All this comes back again to having several pools, showing how useful
such a primitive is.
Speaking of rethinking the GC and its primitives, is there a way
currently to tell the GC to track pointers to a manually allocated block
and assign a callback for when the GC wants that block to be finalized
and deallocated? I'm kinda going to need that if I am to bring decent
garbage-collected Objective-C objects in D.
It's coarsely grained, but you can intercept all finalization calls:

You'd have to figure out some way to filter only the ones you care about.
