9256 :: Any way to determine the GC at runtime?

  I'd like to confirm that the GC is ORC/ARC or raise an exception.

  Thanks.

  You can do it like this. Change when to if to do it at runtime (though why not at compile time?).

  Why would you (need to?) do it at runtime if you can already error out at compile time?

  (if it's not clear how:

  when defined(gcArc) or defined(gcOrc):
    # do things
  else:
    {.error: "Please compile with `--mm:arc` or `--mm:orc`."}
  Run
