I will try to do a couple of benchmarks when I have the time, but I think the
DMD-part of the patch should be merged, even if the current GC is slower with
the precise scanning, because having info on the pointers locations open a lot
of new possibilities GC-wise, like moving collectors. This can be explored in
the feature, once the compiler provide the necessary information about types to
the GC.
