I made a brief attempt at this some time ago. It didn't work because of some
nasty header interactions with Class.h and Object.h, which need to include
boehm-gc.h. I'm sure that there is a solution though, and I think it should be
done. Maybe we need to put the marking stuff in one file and alloc stuff in
another.
