Is there a way to tell it to not initialize it?
I'm not sure of any except using the primitives. You can malloc
GC memory from GC.malloc (works the same way as C malloc,
except you don't have to free it yourself; the GC does it).
GC.malloc doesn't initialize the memory.

I don't think there's a way to tell new not to zero it out
though...
Is it safe to use foreach on it if it isn't initialized?
Yeah, the contents will be random, but you are setting it
anyway so that doesn't matter.
As GC.malloc returns a pointer, how does it know when it should
garbage collect the allocated space?
