+ The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be used as a
+ garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It allows you to
+ allocate memory basically as you normally would, without explicitly 
+ deallocating memory that is no longer useful. The collector automatically 
+ recycles memory when it determines that it can no longer be otherwise 
+ accessed.
