I concur with Yury in every point.

The idea looks good for three core developers, but I just don't understand this. This feature looks useless and misleading to me. It is not atomic and doesn't ensure anything, despite its name. If it will be added in the stdlib, there should be very good explanation of its purpose and limitations in the documentation. And I agree that unittest may be better place than gc if the purpose of it is testing.
