Well the manual isn't overly concerned with the different runtime switches and so this went unnoticed. If you want a shared memory heap or `--newruntime` or `--gc:destructors` you have to live on Nim devel for the time being. I'm writing an article about this, we actually have two competing designs and whatever supports `async` first will "win".
