Okay, I finally give. For purposes of liveness tracing and GC, we're 
going to unify PMCs and strings/buffers. This means we trace through 
strings and buffers if the flags are right, and we need to add a GC 
link pointer to strings/buffers. It'll make things a bit larger, 
which I don't like, but it lifts some restrictions I see looming, 
which I do like.

Anyone care to take a shot at this?
