Is it correct that the current D GC implementation puts delete'd
allocations into
a freelist (or bucket) to be reused when 'new' is invoked again?
I don't know. If it does, an additional level of freelists only hurts.
To the best of my knowledge, for 'small' allocations, the current GC uses
free-lists of power-of-2 sized blocks. (I think small is defined as
anything under 4k)
