Real time guarantees on a GC is not something we are going to 
offer anytime soon anyway. While a minimal library, loosely based 
on the C standard library, with some more bells and whistles that 
could be borrowed from Phobos, this is a goal that is achievable 
in a foreseeable future. And both game developers and embedded 
programmers would be interested.
