Atila's post sits squarely in the latter. If you have a particular strategy you use for working with D's GC, please let me know and we can talk about a post (guest post or otherwise).

I took a look at this. It's a druntime problem. Unique.~this calls std.experimental.allocator.dispose, which calls destroy in object.d which calls rt_finalize:

extern (C) void rt_finalize(void *data, bool det=true);

Notice the lack of `@nogc` in the declaration. Adding the annotation should fix the problem, assuming the implementation is in fact `@nogc`. I'll file a bug and PR to fix it.

There already is a bug, apparently:
