Comment(by bacek):
Replying to [comment:7 nwellnhof]:
> I'd keep the constant flag because it might be useful for another
subsystem at a later point. But we should definitely separate "constant"
PMCs and strings (whose contents don't change) from "permanent" PMCs
(which are never destroyed). Only the latter should be relevant for GC.
I'd also like to keep the constant_string_pool for constant string
buffers. We should use the new permanent flag for that, though.
constant_string_pool is one the things I'm trying to get rid of. And +1 to
cotto about properly kill it.
