By "the virtual types", do you mean `interface`s? If so, that could be solved by doing an `enum isAllocator(T) = ...` like `range`s do, right? Or, I believe Atila's `concepts` library enable people to use `interface`s with `struct`s.
for a good reason, the default is the GC.
Good reason or not, people sometimes need to do manual memory management.
I usually use the GC and like that we have it, but if you care about performance you gotta drop down to manual managements sometimes. If libraries don't let users decide what sort of memory management pattern they want to use we have two languages essentially.
I'd rather all of phobos had overloads with allocator arguments, but sadly it doesn't.
