The really nice thing about Craig's scheme is that the marking of
methods as active is separate from the specialized GC that cleans out
the inactive ones. I'd be interested in a method marker that uses
type inference to mark all the methods in a given package, as well as
all the methods it depends on, even indirectly. Then you could easily
build images for specific purposes without worrying about test
coverage, or providing the complete range of expected inputs during
imprinting.
