And as I said in that bug's discussion, I'm not interested in
improving the old GC where the existing code works well and is not
understood very well by the active maintainers.  Let's instead invest
our energy in making the igc branch (where DEFVAR_LISP_NOPRO is not
used) stable sooner so we could merge it.

See above.
