Destruction is as always welcome. I plan to get into tracing
tomorrow morning.

There are quite a few places where functions could be marked
pure, nothrow, @safe, or @trusted that have not been. I have a
pull request open for many of these.
I also have a feature request. I think something like this should
be added to std.allocator:
/**
* Shortcut that encapsulates a cast and a call to emplace()
* Params:
* a = the allocator to use
* args = the arguments to $(D T)'s constructor
* Returns: a pointer to an instance of $(D T).
*/
T* allocate(T, Allocator, Args...)(auto ref Allocator a, auto ref
Args args)
@trusted if (is (T == struct))
{
import std.conv : emplace;
void[] mem = a.allocate(T.sizeof);
return emplace(cast(T*) mem.ptr, args);
}
The allocate-cast-initialize pattern is incredibly common in the
code that I've written using allocators so far and I'd like it to
be in Phobos so that it does not need to be re-implemented
everywhere.
