Supercedes #666 - I squashed those commits together, then made the suggested edits in a separate commit. I also weakened some of the wording on downsides of GC in the 3rd commit, because:

  • AIUI, the GC only collects when making an allocation (it doesn't interrupt).
  • A D GC could do partial collections, preventing long pauses.
  • Threads not managed by the runtime do not necessarily have to be paused when collecting garbage.
