- Under the new GC, 
  - How does one find an object's generation?
  - How does one record inter-generational pointers?

- Can you describe the new GC's write barrier?

- Will the new GC be thread-safe?
  - If so, will I have to pay for synchronization even when using
    Guile in a single-threaded application?
  - Will linking against a thread-safe Guile require me to link against
    the thread library as well?
