Not a garbage collector but an autofree when the objects gets out of 
scope would be handy

procedure foo()
var
  s: *auto *TStringList;
begin
  s:=TStringList.create;
  doWhatever(s);
end;

would be equivalent to

procedure foo()
var
  s: TStringList;
begin
  s:=TStringList.create;
  try
    doWhatver(s);
  finally
    s.free;
  end
end;

Think of it, which one is more readable?

procedure foo()
var
  s1: *auto *TStringList;
  s2: *auto *TStringList;
  s3: *auto *TStringList;
begin
  s1:=TStringList.create;
  s2:=TStringList.create;
s3:=TStringList.create;
doWhatever(s1,s2,s3);
end;

procedure foo()
var
  s1: TStringList;
  s2: TStringList;
  s3: TStringList;
begin
  s1:=TStringList.create;
  try
    s2:=TStringList.create;
    try
s3:=TStringList.create;
      try
doWhatever(s1,s2,s3)
      finally
        s3.free;
      end;
    finally
      s2.free;
    end;
  finally
   s1.free;
  end
end;
