Go, D, and the GC

Hi Guys,

I know that Go invested many time and resources in an 
implementation of a good GC. And they keep working on it, e.g. 
https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/12800-sweep-free-alloc.md

I also see that the implementation is licensed as BSD, as far as 
I see: https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/LICENSE

Question: is it possible to make a D compiler/runtime that uses 
Go's GC? Wouldn't it largely benefit D? I guess that I'm not the 
first one to think about it. Thoughts?
