Just to be sure I understand you correctly.

Am I right that the garbage collector currently works as follows:

* Mark (= mark all reachable objects as reachable)
* For each collectable (= non-reachable) object:
  * Call dtor
  * release memory of the collectable object

Am I right that the steps you are thinking about can also be formulated as
follows:

* Mark (= mark all reachable objects as reachable)
* For each collectable (= non-reachable) object:
  * Call dtor
  * Obliterate with .init
* For each collectable object:
  * release memory of the collectable object
