Wouldn't it largely benefit D? I guess that I'm not the first one to think
about it. Thoughts?

Why do you think Go's GC might be better than D's?  Is it because we lack
the PR when changes/innovations are done to the GC in druntime?  Do you
*know* about anything new that has changed or improved in D's GC over the
last two years?

I'd be interested to hear about this.
