Making it non-recoverable also means that pure functions can
allocate memory.
Really? It seems that you never worked in a memory constrained system.
There are applications that *really* need to take care about this.
Even you say *almost*, so I guess you actually acknowledge their
existence. If you go this route, please know that you'll make
D a language not suitable for this king of applications.
If the memory constrained systems are that tight, they won't be able to use the
GC anyway - they'll have to use malloc(), and what to do on malloc() failures is
entirely up to the programmer.
