   will be invoked from a finalizer, which may be from an async or from
   another thread.

   As an implementation detail, the way this works is that we allocate a
   fresh object and put the callback in the object.  We know that this
   object should get collected the next time GC is run, so we attach a
   finalizer to it to trigger the callback.

   Once the callback runs, we re-attach a finalizer to that fresh object
   to prepare for the next GC, and the process repeats indefinitely.

   We could use the scm_after_gc_hook, but using a finalizer has the
   advantage of potentially running in another thread, decreasing pause
   time.

   Note that libgc currently has a heuristic that adding 500 finalizable
   objects will cause GC to collect rather than expand the heap,
   drastically reducing performance on workloads that actually need to
   expand the heap.  Therefore scm_i_register_async_gc_callback is
   inappropriate for using on unbounded numbers of callbacks.  */
