The thing is, with iOS ARC, it cannot be statically

performant.
So does D. That's why there is @safe, @trusted and @system.
What is the unsafe
part of ARC anyway?
As I said, it is when it is bypassed for performance reasons.
A system that is automatically safe but can be manually managed
for extra performance. That sounds very D-ish.
