Coq plugin to force garbage collection. 

Use

---

```

Require Import Gc.

Gc Full.

```

Installation

------------

From the command line, run

```

make install

```

You may need root privileges in order to install the files to the system.

Why?

----

I've run into two instances where I wished that I could manually garbage collect Coq.

1) Running a bad tactic that eats up a lot of memory.

2) At the end of a very large proof that is Qed'ed.

This plugin attempts to address these problems by providing a vernacular command that will force a major garbage collection (for the technical definition of 'major' associated with OCaml's garbage collector).
