But if I couldn't use GC and do all allocations and deallocations manually, I wouldn't even be able to use exceptions and there would also no longer be much reason to write it in D.
I'd say if you're going to grow GC heap so big it doesn't fit in memory it's a bad idea in the first place, since each GC cycle will take a lot of time, like, a lot. It might also leak. In a 32-bit process it will leak almost for sure. So keep GC heap for small litter (including exceptions) and use other allocators for large pieces of data. This way you may get best of what D offers without long-GC-pause or out-of-memory-termination pains.
