[issue29671] Add function to gc module to check if any reference cycles have been reclaimed.

[Kevin Mills]

Kevin Mills added the comment:

gc.disable() at the beginning and then analyzing the results of gc.collect() actually does do what I was wanting, thank you.

Reference cycles in and of themselves aren't the problem. It's only a problem if garbage contains reference cycles. In a normal program, a class wouldn't generally ever become garbage, so it wouldn't be a problem.
