It is also true that when you start to really optimize the GC 
(precise, concurrent etc.), its complexity is not lesser than the 
complexity of that bookkeeping.

I think there is place for both, just allow taking one or the 
other path when the programmer decides it is the way to go.

Remember, what people like in C is inclusively the "shoot the 
foot" simplicity and availability. If you want it, you do it.
