-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
Currently, stable pointers are all in one giant pointer table (see
markStablePtrTable); this results in pretty bad GC behavior when you
create a lot of stable pointers (Peaker has a test-case which he thinks is
suffering due to repeated traversal of the stable pointers list.) We
should partition them up into generations like we do for mutable lists.
There might be some trickiness keeping the table up-to-date after GCs.
