One has to distinguish between the initial garbage collector, which moves
nongarbage from the (garbage) stack to the heap, and garbage collections
within the heap.  The first is part of the Chicken way of doing business;
the second could probably be replaced by a different GCed heap, or even
a conservative GC such as Boehm-Demers-Weiser.

(I'm talking in general terms now; I've never looked at the code to see
how it does things.)
