Presumably this interface wouldn't be very stable, given the upcoming
support for the .NET vm and its garbage collector (and the still
nonexistent native garbage collector?). Are equivalents to the boehm
functions present with other garbage collectors?

Also, does anyone have experience with the incremental collection that
boehm offers? It seems that this would be essential if Mercury were to be
used for interactive/realtime tasks.
