If you add reference counting or a GC to the compiler, it

completely in the compiler (turning it on made the compiler
really slow).
AFAIK, he was talking about a whole compiler GC and not a CTFE
only GC/RC.
AFAIK, before the data structures created by CTFE join the
AST, they get "scrubbed" which could help us implement a
self-contained memory managing strategy for CTFE.
If by "he" you mean me, I was talking only about CTFE, not the
whole compiler.
By "he", I meant Walter.
