Calling objc_getAssociatedObject in -finalize.

Consider a GC app.
It is not safe to access object ivars during -finalize due to the uncertainty which self and the ivar objects will be finalised.

Question:
Is it safe to call objc_getAssociatedObject in -finalize or do the same caveats apply?
I have no real idea how the collector treats such associated objects.
My guess would be that it simply collects them like any other object and that objc_getAssociatedObject cannot be safely called in -finalize.
