Sorry, but isn't this still needed?
It isn't. Look at mark_object().
We do not have pure space now but isn't that temporary? If the
portable dumper is ready don't we have read-only objects again and
thus the need for Vpure_uninterned_symbol_table or generalized
equivalent to store the symbols these read-only objects refer to?
I believe read-only objects will use a bit different tactics for GC so
the hack will not need to be reincarnated.
