It certainly is possible. There's nothing magic about the current GC, it's
just library code.
Is it possible that we add some additional functionality to the GC API so that
it could do ARC? I took a look at it, and it seems that right now, there'd be
no way to implement ARC.
ARC would require compiler changes, so it cannot be drop in.
