Thanks for taking the time to write up your ideas. There has been 
much discussion on the GC in the past and I agree that a 
GC-tracking mechanism that can enable precise scanning is needed, 
but to get that level of speed you need some of the mechanisms in 
Rust.

1. You need to make sure that pointers to the interior of a GC 
object are not live when the last pointer to the start of the GC 
objects disappears.

2. You need to annotate C functions that take pointers with a 
guarantee that they don't hold on to references through that 
pointer. Or simply ban C functions from taking GC memory.

What do you think?
