Implementing a compacting GC in D would be exceedingly difficult, 
if not impossible, because of raw pointers, unions, non-GC 
memory, linked C/C++ code, and possibly other reasons. Other 
languages, such as Java, have a much simpler model that can be 
dealt with. There's simply too many caveats in D and any such 
benefits would be minimal at best.
