10 |* This garbage collector is an extremely simple copying collector. It splits
11 |* the managed region of memory into two pieces: the current space to allocate
12 |* from, and the copying space. When the portion being allocated from fills up,
13 |* a garbage collection cycle happens, which copies all live blocks to the other
14 |* half of the managed space.
