What is your feeling on the increased code
complexity/fragility, if any?
It was difficult because it's very easy to accidentally have
references to GC memory that the GC doesn't know about. When
the GC starts freeing "live" memory you get all sorts of
contract and invariant violations that should never be possible.
You mean holding references to GC data in a NO_SCAN block?
