As a side note, in Mono-D you can just type alloca, then press
Ctrl+Alt+Space and the correct import magically appears at the
top of the source file.

The last time I checked alloca did not work well together with 
execptions. Whenever a exception whas thrown thourgh a stack frame which 
used alloca the app would crash. (on dmd Windows 64 bit, which uses the 
same exception mechanism as the linux versions of dmd)
