Core API should subscribe to the premise: give memory allocation control (and therefore dealocation) back to the user
I'm not sure about why RAII is an issue, but I fully agree with your stance about a simpler allocator, and one we can actually build upon.
Great many C libraries work with just 3 preprocessor macros for malloc, free, realloc, something like that. A standard struct with 3 pointers in druntime would be great!
We just can't build upon std.experimental.allocator if it doesn't work in betterC and WebASM.
And it should be clear by now that D programmers want dependencies with fewer files, fewer concepts, fewer new names, (and if I may less templatitis) else they won't build upon it.
