has anyone considered replacing Lua's garbage collection with a garbage collector such as the boehm collector <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/>? my guess is that it would be more efficient.

it shouldn't break any existing Lua code. "gc" tag events could be triggered with a finalization callback.

does anyone else have an opinion about this? i'm thinking about implementing it and wanted to run a sanity check with everyone first.
