The documentation is silent on this aspect of JGNAT--but then it's
silent on a number of other topics of interest as well :-(
Though I've little hard data for this belief, I've taken it that
programs compiled with JGNAT are appropriately garbage-collected when
executed on a JVM. The documentation does say that class files
generated with JGNAT are interoperable with those generated by javac, so
to me that implies comparable behavior.
