It should probably just default to that and with no exception,
since you will never end up in a situation where you don't want
@nogc for a destructor.

That one I agree with.

Fine. The GC allocation issue remains. It looks like one of the
following should be observed:
a) @disable ~this() for all classes so that we are safe from the

No. Class destructors are for cleaning up non-GC resources. As long as
you stick to those, you can safely run them.
Structs that get put into classes have

Of course, we still should and do have the power to shape our programs

What do you think?
No. Class
