   Global roots are for pointers that are outside the heap for a long time.
   I think these could be handled more efficiently by the GC, e.g. by
   moving global roots to a second list when the object referenced by the
   pointer is moved to the major heap.

I destilled this thread into two feature wishs: 4145, 4146.
