Well we agree more than you think here. I think if someone did
a general GC for GNAT, there would be lots of people interested
in it, and after all for many people, since GNAT is on pretty
much all machines, they don't mind not being portable to
non-GNAT compilers, so even if only GNAT did it, it would still
get a lot of use.
