I'd prefer no phrasing at all. Just pick one that will work well in all cases, and don't give me any footguns.

To clarify: By default Nim will still use the GC which doesn't have any "footguns". ARC and ORC are new features which have different trade-offs, and some limitations. You opt-in to using them if you're interested.

A way of dealing with memory that works well in all cases! That would be great.
