I am pretty sure stuff like @nogc (or probably @noheap. or both) will have no problems in being accepted into the mainstream once properly implemented. It is mostly a matter of volunteer wanting to get dirty with the compiler.

I'd push for an ARC implementation. I've become convinced that's what I actually want, and that GC will never completely satisfy my requirements.

Additionally, while I can see some value in @nogc, I'm not actually sold on that personally... it feels explicit attribution is a backwards way of going about it. ie, most functions may actually be @nogc, but only the ones that are explicitly attributed will enjoy that recognition... seems kinda backwards.
