I actually ran with this idea and wrote a garbage collector from 
scratch for an independent study at my university. I haven't made 
much noise about it since I didn't have time to get it to pass 
all tests, but it had performance about on par with the current 
GC and it has a precise heap like in the open PR's.

I'm going to continue working on it in the spring, so who knows 
what'll happen? I would submit a proposal to continue working on 
it during the summer, but I don't think I can participate in 
another GSoC (I graduate as the summer starts).
