I am not.
I am referring here to a very specific deficiency which plagues all
non-moving GCs.
I am sorry if I offended you somehow, I do appreciate your insight.
I don't think you're a troll because you offended me, I think you're a
troll because you're making false statements, such as that gc in R
cannot release small objects, without any evidence in support of them.
