It will clash at best, or just ignore cdgc, as objects are 
considered as a whole, in link order.

Now, if druntime defines gc_alloc, it won't link. You have to 
extract all conflicting symbols out of druntime.

However, one could provide a full druntime patched with CDGC as a 
dub module, and that might work, I suppose.
