With all the talk of garbage collection. I was wondering if it would
be useful to make the GC typed. If it was typed, it maybe be

attribute information if applicable.

This is how "almost precise" GC used in VisualD works. Type
information is used to mark all pointers in most heap objects, but
objects on stack and closures are still scanned conservatively, IIRC.
Unfortunately this GC is not included in the main D distribution,
probably because it's considered to not be tested well enough.
How's that work? The gc interface right now in core.memory is not
templated.
-S.
It is using object.RTInfo
