So this PR is the main blocker to a working heap-precise GC?
Given all of the talk and energy spent around the GC issue I'd
have thought this would be on some super duper high priority
fast path for inclusion. Nothing wrong with other GC projects
but this seems like the lowest hanging fruit.
Another issue is that in 64-bit address space precise GC gives no
advantage as false pointers have low probability, so precise GC
seems to be not worth the effort.
