I think `@live` without that differentation does the job better. 
It is a relatively cheap solution that does not even try to be 
perfect. The managed-unmanaged pointers are better in theory, as 
they can be more foolproof, but they have many times as much 
complexity. Since most of the code can avoid memory corruption 
simply by using the GC, I doubt whether closing that gap in 
`@live` is worth that much.
