Agreed.

He would be a great reference. Do you have any contact information,
or indication that he might have the time to advise?

Interesting link, but its a bit far down the pipeline to think about
implementing. As far as the gc goes, from what I can tell, we have
the following advantages:
1) exact, the hard work about identifying all possible pointer
locations has been done.
2) very space efficient -- lisp objects of the same size are grouped
onto the same page.
3) Portable, in principle, given stack locations, etc. All in
cimpleable C code.
and disadvantages:
1) stop the world, -- not incremental
2) fragments memory space into different types, making it hard to manage
3) Performance (?) (unsure here, really)
Take care,
