-The `Gc<T>` type exists for historical reasons, and is [still used
-internally](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/7929) by the compiler.
-It is not even a 'real' garbage collected type at the moment.

-In the future, Rust may have a real garbage collected type, and so it
-has not yet been removed for that reason.
