wanted to create a program as little as possible, compiled without
garbage collector/phobos/... and it turned out that compiling without
garbage collector is pretty much impossible (memory leaks all around the
place in druntime). dynamic linking for the d standard library would be
a great new option for a dmd release in the future :).
Using D without GC is an interesting direction, and dynamic linking
should be available relatively soon.

As a long time beliver in systems programming languages with GC support
(Modula-3, Oberon, Sing#, ...), I think allowing this in D is the wrong
direction.
Sure provinding APIs to control GC behavior makes sense, but not turn it
off, we already have enough languages to do systems programming without GC.
