That may as well come later - or not at all. We don't think it

Yes. That is the bottom line.
A good match for GC is the phantom reference, which notifies you

After spending hours and hours in a breadth-first scan to learn
me a D, I agree completely with the suggestions in this thread
and I'm happy to help implement them.
Caveats: I'm just now coming up to speed on D and I'm an
