Hey folks, I want to push things forward with artifacts

finding the right name.
An obvious choice is std.experimental.nogc but we know from
Marketing 101 that expressing something as a positive is better
than a negative. Another possibility is std.experimental.rc,
but that's imprecise because the artifacts in there will
contain a variety of things in addition to reference
counting-related artifacts.
Ideas?

Will there also be an article about how to integrate the new
memory model(s) into existing code? Something along the lines of
"How to make existing code GC free". It'd be great to have a
guide that shows how to do it properly.
