A follow-up question then: I notice that, for example, a v8::internal::Context has in its memory block a pointer to a v8::internal::GlobalObject (it can be accessed from v8::internal::Context::global()). This appears to be a direct pointer, not a handle. If the GlobalObject is moved, is the GC changing this piece of memory in the Context?
