There's been lots and lots and lots of forum discussions in the 
past few years of how the language can be changed to support 
better GC latency, but… Walter does not want to carry ownership 
information in pointer types. Which I don't think is all that 
consistent given const and shared, but there you go.

So the most likely path to success is to minimize the role of the 
GC and leave it as a "prototyping tool".
