I find the current GC wars rather interesting, but I find myself siding
naturally with Bill simply because I have *never* encountered a situation
that absolutely demanded GC.   Even without automatic scope-exit destructors
for ADTs, programmer-controlled storage management isn't difficult.
I'd be most interested in seeing some concrete example where GC was the 
'only way to go'.
