All right, thanks for the hint. Is there a timeline till when

No; that particular solution might never be implemented at all.
Getting safe reference counting working well in D (*somehow*) is
a high priority, though.
Andrei Alexandrescu is giving the opening keynote for DConf 2016
tomorrow:
http://dconf.org/2016/schedule/
From the abstract, it sounds like he will be discussing the
reference counting problem again.
Also it would be nice if the GC, that does not leak with 32-bit
D, would be plugged into 32-bit D from the beginning.
Jeremy DeHaan just started a Google Summer of Code project to
make D's GC precise - or at least much *more* precise than it is
now:

If he is able to meet his proposed schedule, I expect there will
be a D release with a much less leaky GC in 6 months to a year.
