I see absolutely no reason whatsoever doing this. TeXmacs is going astray.  If 
you really want a GC, then TeXmacs should have been implemented in Java---it 
doesn't run any faster than a Java based program anyways.

TeXmacs sounds more and more like a research project to me now instead of 
something that would evolve into something useful.
