Very true.  In fact object lifetime and GC are orthogonal concepts.

There's a great paper by a French guy about this, which I can't find
right now.

I'm waiting for the language which supports both concepts.  Actually,
C# is such a language, so I'm waiting for a language which supports
both and doesn't make me want to poke my eyes out.
