I'm saying that basically classes imply infinite lifetime

Infinite lifetime is also only with `new`. The "extra work" with
emplace and manual allocation is the domain of library code (e.g.
`C c = alloc!C(ctorArgs);`).
The only issues with using library code instead of `new` are
details like allocation of non-static nested classes and
allocation of classes using private constructors etc.
It is true that classes rely on *uniqueness* to some extent, but
uniqueness is not particular to GC memory.
