D doesn't guarantee that finalizers will run on GC allocated

Therefore, when unloading a dll:
1. run a gc collection
2. for all objects remaining on the heap
if they have a finalizer and that finalizer points
into the dll
code
mark them as not having a finalizer
What if their vtbl points into the dll code?
What about delegates or function pointers that point there?
These are problems with *any* dynamic dll code. The answer is
to tell the user "don't do that".
That is completely wrong.
