npub150tm9hp8s4st7re79mrn5q9uj6a70pvuatgg9rd8rce6rd3xr3mqfnravx (npub150t…ravx) npub12jc5fsmj6runmarwjnps8jxjpxwy9vx6gpvl2r9hgvtqqz8qx72q90a4uc (npub12jc…a4uc) But, as constructed, it doesn't describe *any* actual GC solution. It's an in-place collector (the pins maintain their position) - so presumably it has to maintain a free list?

So, the "reclaim entire space" metaphor of the sweeper bar doesn't actually make sense, as the space *isn't* being evacuated.

IMO this is a badly mixed metaphor and I just feel like we can do better.
