It is also to be pointed out that the simplest form of garbage

This doesn't have to be that way, and, if my memory serves me well,
David Stess's Portable Objective C (POC) uses reference counting
*automatically, at the language level, under the hood* and doesn't
create cycles.

Your memory does not serve you well.
