For what it's worth, this was the primary goal of Ares and has been a 
property of the library since its inception--the standard library, 
garbage collector, and compiler runtime are all logically separate 
components rather than being somewhat integrated as they are in Phobos. 
  Therefore, I believe Ares may be a better starting point for such as 
design than Phobos.

As for Ares development having stalled--I'll admit I've been too busy 
with other projects recently to keep Ares up to date.  But I have spent 
some time recently mulling over design changes that should make for a 
much improved next release (which I plan to get to before too terribly 
long).

Exactly.
