There was already a GSOC project to make the GC precise by 
Antti-Ville Tuuainen back in 2012. Rainer expanded upon it[1] and 
gave a talk about it at DConf 2013[2].

I'm not sure why it never went anywhere.

In any case, I don't think a precise GC is a good GSOC project 
since most of the work has already been done. I feel like a GC 
focused GSOC project should be more ambitious than merely tying 
up the loose ends of the existing precise GC work.
