I don't know. It seems Walter don't want us to be worse than
Objective-C, meaning he want ARC. But as far as I understand it, we
couldn't come to an agreement on how to implement ARC. But to be able
to be compatible with ARC in Objective-C we would need to follow that

Actually, if you want ARC to be compatible with Objective-C, someone
familiar with Objective-C memory management has to design and implement
the thing. Anything designed to work for Objective-C can easily be
retrofitted to work with other D types, but the reverse is not true. So
I'd tend to say it'd be better to implement ARC as part of the
D/Objective-C project first, otherwise you're trying to solve too many
problems at the same time and it becomes a mess.
