So, much of the difficulty in bringing low-latency GC to dlang

really big effort then that is all we need to know. Not worth
it until we can see a big payoff and have more resources.
Well, you could in theory avoid putting owning pointers on the
stack/globals or require that they are registered as gc roots.
Then you don't have to scan the stack. All you need then is
write barriers. IIRC
'shared' with teeth?
