Andrei mentioned at his DConf presentations is that the runtime

my understanding correct?
I haven't heard anything about that, and I doubt it would happen.
How would you actually manage the memory? The front-facing api
there doesn't offer any access to it.
But, of course, it is quite easy to write your own types that do
the same stuff (including operator overloading, of course) that
do expose memory management, and you can use those with or
without the runtime.
