I once tried to create a batch image processing tool in D, and false

This was a number of years ago, though.
False pointers in the image data? Why would that even be scanned?
Such was scanned in early D.
Anyhow, a large allocation is more likely to have false pointers into it than a
small one. For very large allocations, I would suggest handling them explicitly
rather than using the GC.
