I wish this is true but evidence is against you. Just try testing memory pressure on a no swap system. You will see that the system grinds to a half for a few minutes before you even get to an OOM event.

Perhaps I wasn't clear, but I did say that all file pages are treated equally. I would assume that page with PC is excluded from reclamation process, but other code pages are valid targets.
