So you can use metadata only with global allocators,

Well you can use other allocators if you save them so you have 
them available for deallocation. -- Andrei

Yeap. You did catch me. And if you don't have "@intransitive 
const" or
C++'s mutable you can't save ref to the allocator within object:

struct RCExternal
{
    //alias allocator = theGlobalAllocator;
    auto allocator = &theGlobalAllocator; // assign mutable to 
immutable

    private void[] data;

    ~this () { allocator.decRef(data.ptr); }
}
