It's not a terrible idea, but it is one I think requires a bit more care; there are already several pieces of this written (the --gc code in the compiler, the core::gc collector, the rt allocator) and lying around, and (at least personally) I'd prefer if you or anyone wanting to hack on the GC spent energy integrating and improving those pieces, not adding another one.
Note that Omer was interested in writing a garbage collector *for* the C0 language that his class has implemented, and writing this GC *in* the Rust language.
Meanwhile, it sounds like Graydon and the folks replying to him are talking about implementing garbage collection *for* Rust, which is a very different project.
