What is wrong with value containers? They work great in C++, a container
is such a basic thing that ref counting and whatnot is rarely if ever
needed, and in the unlikely event you need to share a container,
wrapping it with a smart pointer of some sort is easy enough in C++, let
alone D with its better support for type aliasing.
Value containers are almost never used as values. Code that does
manipulate them as values, e.g.
void fun(vector<int> v);
is technically correct but automatically suspicious and raises
questions. (It only passes a code review at Facebook if the
implementation of fun does need in fact a mutable temporary vector
inside, which is rare.)
There is only one place where C++ value containers work well, and that's
as members inside value objects. But then those objects in turn must be
effectively manipulated as references...
