[ I understand I'm late to this game, but just want to clarify
a point here. ]
There are two uses of the word "live" at play here:
- The use coming from Emacs for whether a buffer has been killed or not.
- The use coming from the realm of memory management where it means that
the object can't be reclaimed because some pointers still point to it
(and may still be dereferenced or compared).
The GC's marking is only concerned about liveness in the
memory-management sense.
