&gt;&gt;Then of course you'd have to choose what sort of gc you want. copying?

&gt;
&gt;Not an issue to me... but probably mostly because I haven't the vaguest 
&gt;idea what you're talking about. &lt;g&gt; Could you perhaps point those of us 
&gt;ignorant of such matters to a good resource for learning about the 
&gt;various gc schemes?

see &lt;url:<A  HREF="ftp://ftp.cs.utexas.edu/pub/garbage/bigsurv.ps">ftp://ftp.cs.utexas.edu/pub/garbage/bigsurv.ps</A>&gt; for one 
survey. Or try

I have difficulty imagining a system in which the choice of gc algorithm
is up to each module, which would seem to imply that gc would have to go
in the core with threading and dynamic loading.
