Class Node

protected:
    static Node[Node] nodes;
public:
    this()
    {
        nodes[this]=this;
    }
    ~this()
    {
        delete nodes[this];
    }
}

I don't know how the GC works, but is this safe?  I'm just wondering if the
class references will change, causing the key to become invalid when the GC
is run.  Or are the class refs doubly indirected, making it safe?

Yes, it's safe to do it!
