   [discussion of grabage generation profiles]

   Even research in these issues has become unfashionable, like research in
   locality of reference, and I can think of precious few contributions in
   either field for the past ten years or so.

Just check out the last few L&FP proceedings.  The last one was even
in Europe!  And that's just for starters...

Not to mention that several modern lisps provide stack-consing and
areas, allowing manual storage management if desired.
