@Araq Well I did in fact know very little about the possibilities to use Nim without garbage collection. All I heared about was the `string` and `seq` are implemeneted in a way that they need the gc to run. Because I did not find any other documantation I came to the conclusion that disabling the gc is pretty much useless, because it creates leaks for nim's fundamental types. I am sorry though for the original words I had chosen. I wrote that comment when I had some frustration when writing the sizeof alignof implementation.
It would be nice if there would be a little bit more documantation oft the garbage collection in Nim. Especially on how to use Nim, when there is no GC.
