A small GC heap is sufficient.
There is this blog post where there was a quantitative measure
of the sub-1ms D GC heap size.
That's ok for a small game, but not for applications that grow
over time or projects where the requirement spec is written (and
continually added to) by customers. But for enthusiast projects,
that can work.
Many open source projects (and also some commercial ones) work ok
for small datasets, but tank when you increase the dataset. So
"match and mix" basically means use it for prototyping, but

Switching to ARC looks more attractive, scales better and the
overhead is more evenly distributed. But it probably won't happen.
