I like that phrase, so I put
Finally, \code{hs\_perform\_gc()} advices the Haskell
storage manager to perform a garbage collection, where the
storage manager makes an effort to releases all
unreachable objects. This function must not be invoked
from C functions that are imported \code{unsafe} into
Haskell code nor may it be used from a finalizer.
