Source? AFAIK there's no confirmed upcoming allocators APIs, and even if there was they would just allow reusing the builtin `Box`/`Vec`/etc etc with custom allocators. This is not much different than what you could do with a custom type, so I find it hard to believe it would allow garbage collectors that are not possible right now.
