No. The only part you may have had in ushering in @nogc is
putting the idea out there (although I'm pretty sure Manu and
Bearophile were advocating it long before that). @nogc was
brought about because Johannes Pfau had the initiative to
implement the framework for it and push it through. Otherwise we
would still just be talking about it as a nice idea, and you
would be bringing it up for the nth time with absolutely no
benefit to anyone.
