    There are many places in the code for JSObject and JSArray where they are manipulating their
    Butterfly/Structure, e.g. after expanding their out-of-line backing storage via allocating. Within
    these places there are certain "critical sections" where a GC would be disastrous. Gen GC looks
    like it will make this dance even more intricate. To make everybody's lives easier we should use
    the DeferGC mechanism in these functions to make these GC critical sections both obvious in the
    code and trivially safe. Deferring collections will usually only last marginally longer, thus we
    should not incur any additional overhead.
