I'd like to share some thoughts on improving D's GC, nothing radically

A few observations
I'll keep those with which std.allocator is likely to help:
- The current GC code is not hackable. First rewrite then improve.
- A testable and more modular rewrite (using recent D practices) would
encourage more contribution and is necessary for experimentation.
I think std.allocator is some 15 work-hours from reviewable form, and
std.typed_allocator (with tracing and all) some 50 more work-hours.
Unfortunately these numbers grow due to fragmentation - and OMG I made a
pun too.
