I'd be happy to add this, especially made conditional at runtime (which looks possible) One comment is, it would be nice to use the SimGear locking / thread primitives, but that's a pretty trivial change. I did look at incremental GC for Nasal last year, but couldn't find a 'simple enough' generational algorithm. Still happy for someone else to try - the Nasal GC interface is very clean and self-contained, so quite easy to experiment with different GC schemes.
