 543 A container for a pointer to a C function binding.
 544 CFunction's can only be defined from the C side and act
 545 like blocks in that when placed in a slot, are called when the

 547 are examples of CFunctions. CFunctions are useful for implementing
 548 methods that require the speed of C or binding to a C library.

 717 <h3>Description</h3>
 718 Contains methods related to Io's garbage collector.
 719 Io currently uses a incremental, non-moving, generational
 720 collector based on the tri-color (black/gray/white)
 721 algorithm with a write-barrier.
 722 <p>
 723 Every N number of object allocs, the collector will walk
 724 some of the objects marked as gray, marking their connected
 725 white objects as gray and turning themselves black.
 726 Every M allocs, it will pause for a sweep where it makes sure
 727 all grays are marked black and io_frees all whites.
 728 <p>
 729 If the sweepsPerGeneration is set to zero, it will immediately mark
 730 all blacks as white again and mark the root objects as gray. Otherwise,
 731 it will wait until the sweepsPerGeneration count is reached to do this.
 732 By adjusting the allocsPerSweep and sweepsPerGeneration appropriately, the
 733 collector can be tuned efficiently for various usage cases.
 734
 735 Generally, the more objects in your heap, the larger you'll want this number.

3534 <h3>Description</h3>
3535 A Message object encapsulates the action of a message send.
3536 Blocks are composed of a Message and its children.
3537 <p>
3538 Terminology
3539 <code>
3540 Example;
3541 A B(C D); E F
3542 In the above example:
3543 ...
3544 </code>
3545 Important; Modifying the message tree of a block currently in use may cause
3546 a crash if a garbage collection cycle occurs. If the implementation were
3547 changed to retain every called message, this could be avoided.
3548 But the cost to performance seems to outweigh the need to cover this case for now.

5053 When cloned, an Object will call it's init slot (with no arguments).

6397 <h3>Description</h3>
6398         A WeakLink is a primitive that can hold a reference to
6399         an object without preventing the garbage collector from
6400         collecting it. The link reference is set with the setLink() method.
6401         After the garbage collector collects an object, it informs any
6402         (uncollected) WeakLink objects whose link value pointed to that
6403         object by calling their "collectedLink" method.
