Ah, so you _are_ relying on linker GC :-). As you see, I was hinting that
it would be relying on it working. If you're happy making that assumption
(that linker GC is on and working) then okay, but as long as you realise
that's the assumption being made. I thought in general we tried to hard
code the conditionals on the basis of double checking assumptions (and
reducing compile time).
