Why are you making such proposals, when one of the core developers even
thought about removing normal "scope"? It's almost 100% guaranteed that
nobody will listen.
I personally find it a good idea to find new ways to reduce producing
memory garbage. The D GC is slow and bad, so you'd better avoid it.
Let's make this claim: it is impossible to write high performance
applications (that need to make use of dynamic memory allocation) in D
without resorting to "unsafe" techniques. That would include allocating
memory on the stack, or manually freeing memory.
I write high-performance code in D without resorting to unsafe
techniques. Much of my code allocates arrays only in the beginning and
uses them throughout.
