This certainly wouldn't be difficult to implement. Sean

The data is available via std.gc.getStats allocatedMemory -> usedsize availableMemory -> freelistsize

Is this still being planned to be added? Could it become cumbersome for some GC implementations to expose such an API (e.g. if it's not a O(1) operation but something way more expensive)? If so then maybe it's best not to try exposing such operations.

This looks more like a task than an enhancecement request. @Sean okay to remove it for now?
