Ok, committed, along with detailed instructions on how to use this and
various other debugging tricks in docs/debug.pod.
When I wrote it, I took a look at GC_VERBOSE. It's a bit changed, and
I can't figure out how it works anymore. Does it still work? I didn't
try.
Anyone with debugging tips, please add them to docs/debug.pod. (Well,
imcc-specific stuff should probably be elsewhere. I already have a
pointer to the command-line flags in languages/imcc/docs/running.pod.)
