As far as I know, when a process is terminated, its file handlers 
are removed by operating system automatically. Since, in 
destructor method, it only closes the file, even destructor is 
not called by the GC, it won't be a problem. Also, how else do 
you think the file will be closed other than destructor? Either 
it should be done manually, or by destructor.

This would probably be better reported as a bug using the issue 
tracker: https://issues.dlang.org/

The garbage collector is not required to call class destructors, 
but Mmfile is a class and could leak memory.
