However garbage collection may never ever happen. It would be beneficial to add an explicit mention of this fact as some kind of a disclaimer, like the following:

- "Please note that implementation of this method does not guarantee that garbage collection will be ever started"

or

- "Implementation of this method is allowed to not implement or trigger any memory reclamation mechanism"
