We need to figure out a design. All I'm saying is we must not
bring prejudice to the table. And a very basic point is: there
will be a way to COMPLETELY disable the GC. That is a must.
The ref counted objects still need to be considered as roots for
the GC. This limits how much "completely" can be achieved.
