Re: Is anyone using -fobjc-gc?

[ChanMaxthon]

I would suggest getting rid of -fobjc-gc and let ARC handle NSMatrix.

Apple have long dropped GC support in Xcode so I think no recent project will 
suffer from this loss, and since most of the Objective-C writers now have more 
or less some experience tackling iOS where GC never existed in the first place, 
this is even less of a problem.

However we should put more focus on fixing Toll-Free Bridging and embrace for 
the impact of Apple open sourcing Swift.
