Yes. That is the bottom line.
A good match for GC is the phantom reference, which notifies
you when an object gets collected with no way to resurrect the
collected object or access its instance variables.
That is more important than the nogc thing, as it has real impact
of definition and implementation.
This is the kind of thing we can solve with proper lifetime
definition.
