radical ideas about GC and ARC : need to be time driven?

I think the reason people ask about improving the GC so
frequently is that it's not clear when any potential future
iprovements will come around. I think perhaps things may become
more clear to those concerned if they were told who was working
on GC, roughly when they can expect to see certain improvements,
and so on.
I think the recent work Walter has been doing on the @nogc
attribute is valuable, and will be a major contributor to
reducing the number of undue allocations in the standard library.
While this will not address quality of implementation issues with
the garbage collector, this will certainly reduce the impact of
performance problems caused by pause times. Culprits will be
easier to track down and eliminate with the new attribute and its
semantics.
