Did not know you could access the garbage collector. Learn something new everyday!!!

Are there any examples where people have done this?

Hi 👋🏽 apologies for the delayed response here. This is a good question - I'm not sure that I can point to specific examples, but the most common use case for accessing the garbage collector is to debug complex memory management issues.

Very interesting. I'll have to look around for examples.
