 I think it would be fantastic if D could have most, if not all of
 the C++ containers, so that D also has containers that do not rely
 on garbage collection. I believe I read somewhere that D arrays rely
 on the GC which may not be desirable in certain situations (OS
 programming etc).

For OS programming you'll definitely need another infrastructure, not existing druntime/phobos/dmd.
