I thought that was what those 'dangling blah' was about...
That is, if you make commit A and then on top of that commit B,
and lose both, you will see dnagling for B but not A (which is
reachable from B).

Right; what I was pointing out is that you want the dangling commits, but
the unreachable blobs and trees, and want reachability to count things
listed as dangling, which is a somewhat novel combination of desires, I
think.
