I doubt it.  Switching GC is very hard.  I have no idea how to
implement a module with its own GC.

I think GC can be adaptive enough to support various situation.

1.6.0 will be released very soon.  The development of version 1.7 will
be started immediately after the 1.6.0 release.  The releases after
that is not fixed at all.  FYI, here's the past release history.

  1993/02	development start
  1995/12	the first public release (0.95)
  1996/12	version 1.0
  1997/08	version 1.1
  1998/12	version 1.2
  1999/08	version 1.4
  2000/08	version 1.6
