We need a way to 'pin' objects in memory so that the collector doesn't move
them. An example would be buffers for asynchronous i/o, which cannot be
relocated until the i/o operation is complete. The easiest way to implement
this would be to have the 'pin' operation immediately relocate the object out
of the normal heap and into a special heap for pinned objects. This avoids the
collector having to deal with immovable areas in its normal heap when it is
doing a compaction cycle.
