The only time I can think of when you want to do that is when the pass creates lots of garbage. The only pass I can think of that might cause that much garbage is the inliner but even then it would only be make stuff dead rather than creating new data structures which are dead. Can you give a more concrete example of why you want this? I would say stay away from using the GC for internal pass data structures, this is what most passes do (PRE is a good example of where it stays away from the GC for internal data structures).
