> Rust will probably gain support for "pluggable" and optional garbage collectors as part of its upcoming local allocators API.

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.
