Honestly, what I'd do is implement ARC for Objective-C types in the compiler without waiting for Walter to decide on anything. There's almost nothing to decide when it comes to how D/Objective-C does it: you have to do it the same way as clang. And you can't reuse anything Walter will come with without much tinkering because Objective-C ARC has to manage autoreleased objects. On the other hand once you have implemented Objective-C ARC it should be easy to retrofit the mechanics of it to other parts of D.
The question is if this is something that Walter would accept to be included.
