+; These tests are targetted at making sure we don't retain information
+; about memory which contains potential gc references across a statepoint.
+; They're carefully written to only outlaw forwarding of references. 
+; Depending on the collector, forwarding non-reference fields or
+; constant null references may be perfectly legal. (If unimplemented.)
+; The general structure of these tests is:
+; - learn a fact about memory (via an assume)
+; - cross a statepoint
+; - check the same fact about memory (which we no longer know)
