My question is how do I tell if a pointer is "garbage
collected" or not?
You could try `GC.addrOf()` or `GC.query()` in core.memory.
I was going to say this, but then I realized, it's not that the
pointer points at GC-allocated memory, but that the pointer
itself is stored in a location that is scanned by the GC.
That's not as easy to figure out, as you have to look at
stacks, added ranges, etc.

Ah.... it's where the pointer is stored. That makes some sense.
Thanks
