 Integrate SpiderMonkey more closely with MMgc.
-* Make <code>MMgc::Mark()</code> call SpiderMonkey <code>trace()</code> methods.  The plan is to add a '''per-page type tag''' to MMgc; this takes over the job of the type bits in SpiderMonkey's <code>GCThingFlags</code>.
+* Get rid of js_GetGCThingFlags.  (Ed maybe)
-* Get rid of js_GetGCThingFlags.
 ** The type bits: move to an MMgc page-level type tag.  (Note:  The cycle collector sneakily uses these, in <tt>nsXPConnect.cpp</tt>; it will be changed.)
 ** The <code>GCF_LOCK</code> bit: mainly replaced by allowing MMgc to scan <code>rt-&gt;gcLocksHash</code>.  There is also a string optimization that uses this bit.  It's yet to be determined what to do about that.
-** The <code>GCF_MUTABLE</code> bit:  move into <code>JSString</code>.
+** The <code>GCF_MUTABLE</code> bit:  move into <code>JSString</code>.  (A patch against CVS trunk exists for this.)
 ** The <code>GCF_SYSTEM</code> bit:  To be determined.
-* Drop weak roots, newborns, and local root scopes (if they're not already gone in stage 0).  These will be replaced by MMgc's conservative stack scanning.
