Yes. There is already a precise GC implementation for D, which should
be available with dmd as early as 2.062.

Please elaborate about GC plans for 2.062. I saw thread related to GC
GSOC project and precise GC, however I do not remember about
announcements to pull it in master branch.
I was relaying Dmitry Olshansky's optimism:

there were some problems with it. Anyway I'd expect to see it in
upstream by 2.062 at least.".

Yup, being optimistic here.
In any case I don't expect it in 2.061 as this version should feature
win64 and that's already a whole lot of work. It feels like a release is
not far away.
So 2.062 sounds precisely like a version to go for.
The VisualD announce is more then a month ago:

The relevant GC fork should be this one:
https://github.com/rainers/druntime/tree/precise_gc2
So basically one should be able to try it right away.
