Hi:
why writeln need GC?
It almost never does, it just keeps the option open in case
* it needs to throw an exception (like if stdout is closed)
* you pass it a custom type with toString that uses GC
@nogc is just super strict and doesn't even allow for rare
cases.
It would be nice if one reimplement writeln of Phobos by
bypassing gc and use a custom nogc exception as described here*?
Of course I can imagine that it would be a breaking change in the
language and requires so much work for it to be compatible with
other std modules/language features.
