I think not running the destructor is the best option (although to be

I use Ruby all day with a lot of blocks (closures) and I never had any
problem. In Ruby everything is an object and passed around by reference.
I guess that's help.
BTW, the default iteration pattern in Ruby is to use blocks:
[1, 2, 3].each { |e| puts e }
Closest translation in D:
[1, 2, 3].each!(e => writeln(e));
But in D one would of course use a foreach loop instead.
