That sounds like an interesting project!

I think it is possible to modify the language slightly and make 
(to me) acceptable restrictions on where GC is allowed to get 
better performance. Still, I am sure you will be able to find 
some new opportunities in your research project.

I am looking forward to see what you come up with.
