  -- Scheme Procedure: gc
  -- C Function: scm_gc ()
      Scans all of SCM objects and reclaims for further use those that
      are no longer accessible.  You normally don't need to call this
      function explicitly.  It is called automatically when appropriate.
 
  -- Scheme Procedure: gc-stats
  -- C Function: scm_gc_stats ()
      Return an association list of statistics about Guile's current use
      of storage.
 
  -- Scheme Procedure: object-address obj
  -- C Function: scm_object_address (obj)
      Return an integer that for the lifetime of OBJ is uniquely
      returned by this function for OBJ
 
  -- Scheme Procedure: unhash-name name
      Flushes the glocs for NAME, or all glocs if NAME is `#t'.
 
  -- Scheme Procedure: malloc-stats
      Return an alist ((WHAT . N) ...) describing number of malloced
      objects.  WHAT is the second argument to `scm_must_malloc', N is
      the number of objects of that type currently allocated.
