Would anyone be willing to take on the ingrate task of

Merging
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1886
and running phobos unit tests should make it relatively
simple,
at least for a first pass.
That's only for implicit allocations though. And please, don't
merge
yet, it'll get another rewrite this weekend ;-)
Please close if you plan to rewrite.
One interesting point is that module that were written with
avoiding
allocations in mind usually still allocate when throwing
exceptions.
Good point, we need to address that as well.
I'd think fixing that is probably above and beyond what is
required to satisfy most people. If you are throwing so many
exceptions that GC pauses are a problem you've got more serious
problems than the GC.
nothrow doesn't concern itself with Error exceptions, I think
nogc should just ignore exceptions generally.
