that in most cases we don't need to garbage collect at all.
(Collection has a fairly significant overhead, some.) The heap
size can be overriden through libgc's GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE
environment variable. We should probably also provide a
nix.conf setting for this. Note that GC_expand_hp() causes a
lot of virtual, but not physical (resident) memory to be
allocated. This might be a problem on systems that don't
overcommit. */
