I believe that would be impossible to implement without never reusing addresses or actually bolting on a GC.

If you never reuse addresses, long running programs will have some trouble ahead.

Oh, it's not even that simple because you'd have to make access to the region atomic.

What language would you write this hypothetical GC in?
