[IronPython] Embedding IronPython

[Dody Gunawinata]

OK, this is definitely surprising.
Is it correct to  assume that by setting the compilation to non-optimized
mode, the compilation result will behave like a normal .Net object in being
subjected to normal GC collection when it's out of scope? Or do I have to
explicitly set GC collection after usage?
