something about Ruby and its garbage collection, I would trust beyond

Ok, perhaps I (wanted to) misinterpret Nobu's 'no'. I thought this
refers to the accessibility from within ruby.

Sorry, I was too terse.
The reason why it is not accessible from ruby is that it's too
dangerous; it can cause crash easily if it were possible.
Consider:
x = Foo.new
GC.force_recycle(x)
x.inspect
Accessing recycled object would raise "terminated object"
exception if you're lucky.
