I notice here, that you refer to "pure" reference-count GC, implying
that some GC's are "hybrid" and combine reference-counting and some
other scheme (supposeddly mark-and-sweep). How would such a hybrid GC
work? any papers on the subject?

[I think I've seen descriptions of GC that use reference counts in places
where they're known to be safe, other kinds elsewhere. -John]
