and those who don't care say:

If I don't care, why would I place .toGC() at the end of my calls?
This is the way it all works: RC+GC is more structure than GC, so you
start with more structure and then optionally "forget" it.
What
reason do I have to go out of my way to request this?
You use an API that uses e.g. string, not RCString.
The amount of existing-code-breakage here will be immense. Almost nothing,
unless it uses Phobos only, will compile once this is released. It might
even do more damage to D's still fragile public-image than the
Phobos/Tango fiasco did.
What problems can
I expect when I forget to add it?
Passing x around won't compile.
And we're supposed to want that? (See Above)
