wondering if this is the way to go for embedded in D.
V8 uses an incremental collector (somehow?), which I've been saying is
basically mandatory for embedded/realtime use. Apparently Google agree.
Clearly others have already had this quarrel, their resolutions are worth

An interesting thing to note, Apple tried garbage collection with Obj-C,
but only on MacOS, and it's now been deprecated since automatic reference
counting was introduced [1]. It never was on iOS.
So that is a telling omission I think.
