Is it conservative?  If not, how do you access the children of each 
vertex in the
pointer graph?  The multiple instantiations sounds similar to cmm
(ftp://ftp.di.unipi.it/pub/project/posso/cmm ).  If so, I think it's a good
idea; however, I'm wondering how you'd mix, for example, rc with
mark-sweep.
