Only error was with a signal handler trying to allocate on
the GC. I think it'll be worth it for me to use this from now
on. There's no locking and possibly no stop the world.
why 'possibly' ?
I hadn't tested it when I wrote that message. I committed the
changes today and my tests were successful in a thread-local
GC, however I'm still scanning the other thread contexts. The
only limitation is that you can't move objects between threads,
a pointer must remain in the thread that created it if the
object is used in another thread.

I am no compiler/runtime guru, but it sounds like if it were
possible to make this a swappable option for D this might be very
important. Is this true, and how much work is involved in making
this industrial strength?
