I have yet to see a (working, correct) non-STW GC that doesn't 
make other trade offs not acceptable for D (extra thread(s), 
memory barriers for all writes, etc.).
There's room for improvement of the current GC, but I sincerely 
doubt we will see one that's not STW.

And remove one of the primary reasons why one doesn't have to 
prototype in some script language (e.g. python)? No thanks.
