To repeat myself: we rewrote some functionality which already existed in
D, but were improvable. For example the existing emplace method is quite
long, hard to understand / read and is not marked with @nogc. Since we
want to avoid the GC wherever possible we had to rewrite it. I hope it's
useful for someone else and that some of you guys take some ideas from it.

Opened File.d at random:
@trusted
@nogc
char[] read(const string filename) nothrow {
import std.c.stdio : FILE, SEEK_END, SEEK_SET, fopen, fclose,
fseek, ftell, fread;
FILE* f = fopen(filename.ptr, READ_BINARY);
scope(exit) fclose(f);
fseek(f, 0, SEEK_END);
immutable size_t fsize = ftell(f);
fseek(f, 0, SEEK_SET);
char[] str = m3.m3.make!(char[])(fsize);
fread(str.ptr, fsize, 1, f);
return str;
}
Then stopped right there. This is nowhere near production quality -
there is no error checking whatsoever, does more operations than
necessary, won't work on special files etc. etc. etc.
I applaud the intention but there is a lot more work to be done on this
before it's in reviewable form.
