In C++, deleting involves two steps: call the destructor and release the
memory.
It is different in D: releasing memory should be the responsibility of
the GC; after all, GC is the one that runs some algorithm that fits its
needs.
On the other hand, calling the destructor is still acceptable in D
because it may be important for the programmer to run the contents
earlier than GC would. clear() does that:
auto t = new Test(f3);
// ...
clear(t); // <-- Run the destructor
Unfortunately it has a bad name, which is going to be changed.
