Afraid it's set in stone. Now, it doesn't actually use the GC for 
allocating the stack memory, instead opting for VirtualAlloc on 
Windows and mmap, valloc or malloc on other platforms. Of course, 
it's possible to change the implementation in core.thread, but 
it's probably more work than you want. Copying the entire Fiber 
class and changing it also runs into some problems, since it 
depends on private stuff in core.thread.
