I'm sorry, I find that totally confusing. Is what you mean simply "when
we call mps_arena_step? And why "start GC"?

Wot? Please someone help.

I wrote that because I put mps_arena_step where it is, in igc_on_idle,
which is called when Emacs is idle.

Simple. Because this person here, a long time ago, idly put
mps_arena_step where it is, when writing igc_on_idle, and made Emacs call
that when idle.
