And then it will check that memory block for stuff that looks like a 
pointer (not caring what the actual type being pointed to is) afaik. That 
is what I meant with conservative GC.
I found a thread from  2013, where Ian says the same 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/yNis7bQG_rY.
Maybe my information is outdated, I haven't followed the GC evolution in 
recent years that closely.
