I'll start doing it myself, but I also suggest it be made a policy, and

I would also expect that Phobos modules that know the lifetimes of their
allocated data use malloc/free rather than the gc.
I would like a better solution. Allocating things with malloc/free means no GC
references involved,or clunky addroot/removeroot calls. That is dangerous to
say the least.
Yes, it takes some engineering work to do it right.
What about dsimcha's region allocator?
Seems like overkill for a small issue.
