This is not possible as different kinds of GCs need to generate
different runtime data at compile time. The current GC for example
does not need any runtime data (other then what the D typeinfo system
already provides) but the percicse GC needs additional runtime
information, so you can't just "swap" them. You need to recompile.

I don't know much about the problem, so this may be a dumb question, but
I'll ask anyway.
Can a loadable GC be made possible with an improved design? For example,
can the component that generates the needed runtime data for the GC also
be plugged in?

The GC could load the needed runtime data from a file. But it would have
to be generated a compile time anyway. so you always need to know at
compile time which GCs you migth want to use in the future.
