You made a large number of assertions about garbage collection and they 
were almost all wrong.

It's not about minutiae -- D can't reasonably have a precise collector, 
and you were saying that nothing else useful can happen before you make 
the GC precise. A non-precise collector can and often should be 
concurrent, and you were saying this was useless.

These are big things. They affect prioritization of major projects. 
Getting them wrong could mislead a GSoC student to the point of not 
accomplishing much when they could have plucked lower-hanging fruit 
successfully.
