We're likely going to have a scanning GC of some sort in perl 6. It'll
probably only touch memory perl manages, and there'll be some way to
register your interest in memory that perl might otherwise reclaim. Might
piggyback on the inter-thread memory registry or something. (GCing memory
used by another thread strikes me as a good way to die in interesting ways...)
