** Collectable objects may have one of three colors: white, which means

** its references may be not marked; and black, which means that the
** object and all its references are marked.  The main invariant of the
** garbage collector, while marking objects, is that a black object can
** never point to a white one. Moreover, any gray object must be in a
** "gray list" (gray, grayagain, weak, allweak, ephemeron) so that it
** can be visited again before finishing the collection cycle. (Open
** upvalues are an exception to this rule.)  These lists have no meaning
** when the invariant is not being enforced (e.g., sweep phase).

/*
** In generational mode, objects are created 'new'. After surviving one
** cycle, they become 'survival'. Both 'new' and 'survival' can point
** to any other object, as they are traversed at the end of the cycle.
** We call them both 'young' objects.
** If a survival object survives another cycle, it becomes 'old1'.
** 'old1' objects can still point to survival objects (but not to
** new objects), so they still must be traversed. After another cycle
** (that, being old, 'old1' objects will "survive" no matter what)
** finally the 'old1' object becomes really 'old', and then they
** are no more traversed.
**
** To keep its invariants, the generational mode uses the same barriers
** also used by the incremental mode. If a young object is caught in a
** foward barrier, it cannot become old immediately, because it can
** still point to other young objects. Instead, it becomes 'old0',
** which in the next cycle becomes 'old1'. So, 'old0' objects is
** old but can point to new and survival objects; 'old1' is old
** but cannot point to new objects; and 'old' cannot point to any
** young object.
**
** If any old object ('old0', 'old1', 'old') is caught in a back
** barrier, it becomes 'touched1' and goes into a gray list, to be
** visited at the end of the cycle.  There it evolves to 'touched2',
** which can point to survivals but not to new objects. In yet another
** cycle then it becomes 'old' again.
**
** The generational mode must also control the colors of objects,
** because of the barriers.  While the mutator is running, young objects
** are kept white. 'old', 'old1', and 'touched2' objects are kept black,
** as they cannot point to new objects; exceptions are threads and open
** upvalues, which age to 'old1' and 'old' but are kept gray. 'old0'
** objects may be gray or black, as in the incremental mode. 'touched1'
** objects are kept gray, as they must be visited again at the end of
** the cycle.
