I completely agree with you. Now I understand the whole thing much better.
I originally thought about a non-mutual-exclusive thread ( completely
asynchronous ), but then it would potentially leave a mess in Nasal heap,
right?

That's a good idea.
As Curtis Olson said the GC should have an atomic step character (or don't
produce too much delay).
Does anybody of you know how garbage collectors of Java and Python and other
GPL'd script engines compare to each other? (atomic step character)
