Hi, one thing I've been particularly curious about in regard to MacRuby...

I've noticed the "autozone" garbage collector for Objective C has been
released as open source:

http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5.5/autozone-77.1/

How difficult would it to be to use this as the garbage collector for
MacRuby?  I'm particularly interested in MacRuby on the iPhone... does open
source autozone actually help, or do you need it as a cohesive part of the
Objective C runtime?
