Success! (Precisely)

Also, probably most of the problem with false pointers is on the heap anyhow.  The
stack is usually on the order of a few 10s of kilobytes, the static data segment
maybe another few 10s of kilobytes, whereas the heap can be hundreds of megabytes.
 I think that, given how little progress has been made on improving the current GC
implementation and how hard a problem it is, adding precise heap scanning to the
current GC is a good 80/20 solution until D becomes popular enough to earn hordes
of money for research into improving its GC.
