#            Garbage Collector
#
# The basic algorithm is an incremental mark
# and sweep GC to free cycles. It is hard realtime in that if you play
# according to its rules, no deadline will ever be missed.
# Since this kind of collector is very bad at recycling dead objects
# early, Nim's codegen emits ``nimEscape`` calls at strategic
# places. For this to work even 'unsureAsgnRef' needs to mark things
# so that only return values need to be considered in ``nimEscape``.
