Note that a reflective architecture allows you to choose and/or write your GC
without breaking code that lives above.
With multi-object-space support, you can even have objects
that live in different GC spaces, yet seamlessly communicate.
Of course, multiple spaces is only worth it if inter-space communication
is low wrt intraspace communication.
