I used your test, but had to make a bunch of objects to get collection to happen. GC *is* reclaiming objects still referenced by TLS and no-TLS (shared). So I will need to look into that some more. Note: this is on osx and I tweaked some of the druntime code to get it to build, so some of this might be my doing. So I guess as a follow up, should I expect the GC to be aware of shared globals, or are there issues there too like thread local?
