> This is not only performance but also behavior.

Multithreading, GC and TLS have global consequences, who knows, how third-party
code will react on it. We know, how TLS is broken in dlls on windows and how
some system calls spawn threads unexpected by druntime, which leads to crashes.

Other tool can't know, when compiler decides to alloc, especially a third-party
tool. This can even depend on compiler switches like optimization.
