Thanks for the suggestions.
I think it will take some significant refactoring. It needs to work from
both scan_heap and lazy_scan_heap, so I would need to make a loop that
works for both of those cases. Additionally, the second scan needs to
avoid all of the side effects (like double-counting), which might mean
some ugly branching. For instance, the big switch statement is
completely unnecessary during the second scan.
I'll come up with a refactored version of the patch.
