I think we should actively discourage manual release of memory from the
GC heap. We should instead facilitate use of malloc and free.

I plan to fix 1 soon (as discussed in your bug report).
I forgot about 2, but the runtime function that deletes an array should
remove it from the cache. (this is an easy fix).
To get you running, this would be the contents of the requested function
(must put the function in rt/lifetime.d):
__blkcache[] = BlkInfo.init;

*Subject:* [phobos] Clear appending cache?
Can someone who knows better than me how it works (probably Steve)
please put a function in druntime to clear the current thread's
array appending cache? I need this for two reasons:
1. To make sure arrays I'm done with get GC'd.
2. To make it safe(r) to free arrays manually.
