Looks 100% correct. Removing 'delete' /does/ make D unusable as an
SP language... unless you ignore the GC completely, which isn't even
possible, practically speaking.
I don't understand how you came to that conclusion? "delete" will
become a standard library (or easily-implemented user) function.
Would it still have the same functionality (i.e. disposing of GC'd
objects and reclaiming their memory, as though the GC had done it)?
If so, what's the point of removing it in the first place?
If not, then I guess my point is obvious.
