The opposite/dual of a "conservative" garbage collector is a "precise" or
"accurate" garbage collector. A conservative garbage collector (and really
garbage collector should be in quotes) is not guaranteed to collect all
garbage. Does that help a little?
BTW, yes, I understand why you might want a conservative GC, I just don't
care for that trade off.
