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.".

Unfortunately Antti-Ville, the student who worked on the GSoC project,
is not to be found. I pinged him to no avail. Hopefully nothing bad
happened to him.
It would be great if someone else in the community took over his github
work.
