Well... I would never say "no" to something that works, but I'm wondering
why this works. The GC should track explicit allocations for compatibility.
The pointer is on stack. If I allocate something, then free it, GC should
be aware that a certain area is freed. Something doesn't compute here.
I left that ugly #ifdef there to figure it out later.

You're right, of course. I'll come back with a test. Falcon, too.
