Re: 'gc' tag method

I was under the impression that the line hook executed merely on the 
switching of the line, whereas I'm looking for somewhat finer granularity 
in control.  And does the line hook even work for compiled bytecode?

The specific circumstance I'm thinking about is a situation where you are 
explicitly limiting the time spent in the interpreter due to system-wide 
constraints -- i.e., a non-preemptive environment where you have to yield 
on a regular basis.  On a per-line basis isn't too bad, but would it 
trigger on something like: for index in table do print("Index: 
["..index.."]") end, where the entire block is on a single line?
