Thread-local GC?

I was wondering if thread-local GC had been considered an option
for making D's GC work better in threaded code? Erlang has this
(well, process-local GC, which is closer to fibre-local in D
terms) and it seems to work okay, although I don't think Erlang
allows shared memory between processes.
If this were possible, it would be particularly useful if it
could be combined with nogc to allow the spawning of nogc
threads. These could be used for latency-sensitive work, with the
guarantee that work done in a nogc thread would never be paused
by garbage collection done in other threads.
