I can understand that, but I also don't know what a reasonable use case
would be for sharing a library yet using different GC's - it sounds like
complexity without purpose.
It was my impression that phobos in a shared library would soon become
the default on linux, i.e. any application would use it by default. In
that case, all supported GCs might actually have to be included in the
shared library.
The options to embed into the application are used to get the best
performance for the specific task using any GC available through the
shared library. That could include enabling/disabling preciseness,
tweaking initial pool sizes and increase strategy or disabling the final
collection that even runs if the GC is disabled (and might be useful
only for a very limited number of application).
