Ok, clear. It will work then as far as I can see.
But I am surprised this is considered a #1 issue to address.
"#1" as in "the first idea that came to mind". Just sorting by date :o).
I have
never been worried by lack of control over generated garbage in Phobos -
it was the other way around, worries about control of how it is allocated.
So yes, this is likely to solve issue you have mentioned but does not
seem to be of any interest to me.
Noted. That part needs to be addressed by allocators.
