@nogc doesn't actually enable writing better code. It doesn't

I'm on the same boat with you, regarding what you wrote, but

Atila is in charge of this, and he is because he's shown
excellent judgement about these matters over the years.

always liked also your pragmatism. Anyway, I'll sit waiting for a
policy decision on cases similar to the one mentioned.
