That's how it is.
But you can build some abstraction by yourself, for example inside a struct you can keep
the pointer to a memory block in the C heap, and in the ~this() of the struct you can put
the free(). Then D has to give you a way to disallow the "new" on this struct,
to be sure its destructor is called when it goes out of scope (or the object it's
contained into gets deallocated).
