NO garbage collection
When a reference count = 0 the object is deleted immediately
Reference counting is one of many possible garbage collection
strategies.
Just a an aside this is how I was taught the difference between
memory management (reference counting) and garbage collection (like
in Lisp, java, etc)

Note that the section on reference counting specifically mentions
cycles which is an issue we have with RB objects referring to each
other and the main application o longer having a reference to either
