I'm looking at "http://dlang.org/garbage.html" section "D Operations That Involve the Garbage Collector", and there are some pretty interesting things on the list that require GC: all dynamic arrays, associative arrays, closures, asserts. Can you even read a file without these?

In college, a group of is (mostly my friends) wrote a kernel in D, with no GC: http://xomb.org

It's true that D's stdlib still uses GC, but he D team has been working on eliminating that.
