I wanted to follow up on a few of Andrei's ideas.

Is there any work ongoing on the GC, I know there has been lots 
of talk from time to time, but are there any concrete efforts out 
there that a student could start from?

Also I've seen lots of discussion on improving SQL support, and 
good starting points.

For the parser generator there is currently Pegged, that could be 
integrated into Phobos.  Would that be enough work for a full 
project.

Also, anyone interested in mentoring projects related to these 
topics.
