Sure, but maybe there is too much flexibility that isn't really 
needed, rather a more GC friendly one, which still allows for 
typical systems programming use cases.

A good approach would be to do a bit of archeology and try to 
research how GC enabled systems programming languages like Cedar, 
Modula-3, Oberon derivatives and Sing# had their GCs implemented 
across the available compilers. And respective OS.

To certain extent, they were good enough to produce workable 
desktop OS.
