With the precise heap scanning patch for DMD the GC can automatically pin memory, because it has enough information to differentiate between real pointers and words which types are not really known, so a block can be moved *only* if is only pointed to by real pointers, otherwise is pinned because we can't update the words with unknown type if we moved that block.
I know. That's how a mostly copying collector works.
