switch off GC?

[bearophile]

Weed, some built-ins and significant part of the standard lib (and other libs you can find around) assume the presence of a GC.
So you can disable (or often just not use it. If you don't allocate/free GC-managed memory then the GC sleeps) in some critical spots of your code as I do (and you can also just use memory from the C heap), but if you really want to remove it, you may want to consider using C++ instead.

I'd like too to have something like a -nogc compiler flag to not include the GC at all in small programs that don't use the GC (or use it only to allocate memory and not to free it).
