I was about to post a patch adding those functions in, but I see that
you're in the middle of a much more thorough review than I had attempted,
so my patch isn't going to apply anymore, and would probably be
misleading, to boot.
Going down that route anyway, I haven't solved any GC problems, so it may
not end up being a useful diversion. Still, I have been looking at the
hand-rolling of structures, such as this one at the top of resources.c, to
see if they could be simplified in the simplified --gc=libc case (where
we're not worrying about compaction and moving aligned pools to unaligned
places.)
