Feedback would be very appreciated.
I was under the impression that Andrei's ProtoObject was
supposed to remedy that:

It's not enough for destructors because they work "both ways".
If we have a universal base class with a @nogc destructor, then
no subclass can have a non-@nogc destructor. In particular, it
won't be compatible with today's Object. But if the universal
base class has a destructor that's not @nogc, then classes can't
ever be destroyed in @nogc code because destructors need to
recurse to base class destructors.
I think we have to either give up on having a sole universal base
class, or special-case destructors in the language (or some
combination of both).
