Why? Because you don't expect a perl process to run longer
than a couple hours? Or because rollover won't matter?
Rollover won't really matter much, if we're

really think we'll have that many GC generations in a few hours?

I'd have to concur. I'm working on an integration engine entirely in Perl and expect
many processes to stay up for months under heavy IO loads. I hope^H^H^H^Hhave
confidence that p6 will be a major boon to my efforts, not a hindrance. :-)

Would it make people's lives easier and potentially faster if we
added a GC_GENERATION field to the interpreter, one we increment
every time we do a GC or DOD run? I expect a UINTVAL should be
sufficient to hold the counter.
This way things that might have to do pointer recalcs or whatever
