While this is probably fine for the manual, could you comment whether
there is indeed any platform-dependent behavior in the GC code? I am
not an expert in the Lua source code, but if I were asked this
question, I would say "I can't think of any". To clarify, I am talking
strictly about the Lua GC code behavior; I understand that the
bigger-picture memory allocation behavior is very certainly platform
and even host-application specific.

Thanks,
