After I posted I wanted to edit it to add "disregarding JIT in 
conjunction with a VM like JVM or .NET". Have there been any C++ 
compilers that used a garbage collector?

What I was getting at was, if someone says "I've got a systems 
level project I want to play around with, however GC is not a 
deal breaker for me. ", it seems like they are making an implied 
reference to D as I assume "systems level" means "compile to 
object code and link with linker to executable".
