Fil's Unbelievable Garbage Collector

I love C, performance and security. Between this garbage collector and the capability enforcement, this is appealing. I've thought a few times about what a more secure C would look like, brushing over capability concepts here and there, but I don't belong near compiler code.

How hard would it be to support Windows?

<off-topic> Took me far too long to understand your opening sentence; eventually realised the Oxford comma would've helped me out. Rare to see a clear example in the wild.

The potential for misinterpretation didn't escape me, but I was also confident that there was sufficient context to understand it. An Oxford comma there would have suggested a more careful cadence if it were spoken, which is not what I wanted.

As you said, it can be rare to see a case where it truly is ambiguous, but the context here negates that well enough.
