Thats not obvious at all. In batch a GC can perform better than 
naive free if it is possible  to give the compiler good 
information about where and when to scan.

But if people who make language decisions dont struggle with 
memory management in their coding practice then there is less 
likely to be significant improvements in this feature set.
