i think that GC that don't stops the world is just a different
product. even if it makes program, say, 2 times slower overall. just
imagine game like Quake written in GHC ;)

of course, i understand that you don't want to support one more GC
architecture, just mentioned why it may matter for some people

so it seems that it will not be included in 6.6.* ?
