A separate GC idea - multiple D GCs

I ended up with that design by accident: My D library had to spawn 
multiple D processes instead of multiple threads. This was a workaround 
to my inability to execute initialization functions of D shared 
libraries that were dynamically loaded by foreign runtimes (Python and 
C++ were in the complex picture).

In the end, I realized that my library was using multiple D runtimes on 
those multiple D processes. :)

I've never gotten to profiling whether my necessary inter-process 
communication was hurting performance. Even if it did, the now-unstopped 
worlds might be better in the end. I even thought about making a DConf 
presentation about the findings but it never happened. :)
