One thing to note, though, is that collectors like Boehm do support marking
regions of memory as not containing pointers. IIRC, Boehm is actually quite
performant, ignoring the fact that it might leak (and usually leaks for
functional languages) - it's generational and incremental. The Unity game
engine actually uses it (it uses an old version of Mono, which can only use
Boehm)
