* add --deadlock_prevention:on|off switch; timeout for locks
* implicit ref/ptr->var conversion
* add --deadlock_prevention:on|off switch? timeout for locks?
* make GC fully thread-safe; needs:
- global list of threads
- thread must store its stack boundaries
- GC must traverse these stacks
- isOnStack() needs to take them into account (SLOW?)
- GC must stop the world
* implicit ref/ptr->var conversion; the compiler may store an object
implicitly on the heap for write barrier efficiency! (Especially
important for multi-threading!)
