@nogc itself does not help here as this code will still be
affected by stop-the-world. Those issues are related, but not
directly.
It will help to avoid memory leaks when you switch the GC off
though.
Of Course, I never said stop the world only affected certain
parts of the program. ? Having a nogc allows one to use only
those functions and disable the gc and not worry about running
out of memory.
e.g., import @nogc std.string; only imports nogc functions. Can
disable the gc, use reference counting and write a RT app. (it
would be better to specify the module as @nogc then all imports
can only import @nogc functions)
