I could be mistaken (and I haven't written any ECMAScript in a long time),
but I believe ECMAScript doesn't have guardians, gc hooks, weak vectors and
(key, value, key-value) weak hash tables. So, if we re-use the host GC,
that would mean those GC things cannot be used right?

In that case, it may be a good idea to raise an error at compile time
if some code tries to use these anyways. (I've been using guardians
and weak vectors lately.)
