Question about garbage collection

Quoth nascheme at news.cnri.reston.va.us (Neil Schemenauer):
| Python 2.0 will come with an optional garbage collector to
| collect cyclic garbage.  The impact on performance is not yet
| fully understood which is why it will not be enabled by default.

I'd like to be able to invoke collection in a Python statement
(one iteration at a time.)  If that's not already an option, 
does it seem like something that would be hard to hack up when
I get ahold of 2.0?
