CNI requires modifications to your C++ compiler to work.
There's no technical reason that one couldn't modify a C++ compiler
to also work with a precise copying collector while you're at it.
That's not to say it might not be hard. For GCC it looks basically
unfeasible. I suspect nobody will ever make the effort.
Perhaps this is a distinction without a difference? Sometimes I find
it interesting to contemplate CNI's definition as separable from its
current implementation.
